Electric trucks are finally here, and more are on the way in 2022 and beyond. We\u2019re talking about the biggest names in automotive, from Ford and Chevrolet to Tesla and many others. But as they always say, \u201cthe best is yet to come,\u201d so let\u2019s take a look at the most exciting upcoming EV pickups.<\/p>\n

Trucks are the most popular vehicles in the United States, and the arrival of electric pickup trucks could widen the gap. Now that the Rivian R1T<\/a> and Hummer EV trucks are available<\/a>, we\u2019re seeing new capabilities and new owners in the truck segment.<\/p>\n

Ford F-150 Lightning<\/h2>\n

America loves pickups, and that\u2019s especially true with the Ford F-150 series. It\u2019s the number one best-selling vehicle in the United States and the top-selling truck for 45 years in a row<\/a>. As a result, there\u2019s tons of excitement around the new Ford F-150 Lightning EV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ford initially announced the F-150 Lightning would retail for under $40k, but now it looks like the base Pro model will come in around $41,669 when it arrives in the spring or summer of 2022. With standard all-wheel-drive and electric motors on each axle, the F-150 Lightning gets power from a standard 98.0-kWh battery pack, or buyers can upgrade to a 131.0-kWh unit. The base model offers 230-miles of range and 426 horsepower, while the higher trim is capable of the promised 300-miles per charge.<\/p>\n

However, we\u2019ve seen reports that the F-150 Lightning could far exceed those numbers<\/a>\u00a0as Ford went conservative to take range anxiety out of the equation, and the 300-mile estimate is with 1,000 lbs of cargo in the bed. If true, the F-150 Lightning could offer a range above 400 miles.<\/p>\n

The all-new Ford F-150 Lightning is a big deal for Ford and a big deal to the overall truck segment, and we can\u2019t wait to see it arrive. Due to overwhelming demand, the company halted reservations<\/a> as it tries to ramp up production.<\/p>\n

Chevy Silverado EV<\/h2>\n

Chevrolet <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While GM already released its Hummer EV, Chevrolet isn\u2019t far behind and unveiled the all-new Silverado EV in early 2022. With a stylish new design, plenty of power, and production to start in early 2023<\/a>, this is another truck to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n

The Silverado EV was \u201cdesigned from the ground up to drive circles around the competition,\u201d and the company aims to be a leader in the EV space. According to GM\u2019s CEO, Mary Barra, the Silverado EV should offer nearly 400-miles per charge, tons of exclusive features, and be \u201cunmatched\u201d when you compare all it has to offer vs. the competition. With a sleek design, all-wheel drive, 4-wheel steering, and plenty of range, Ford and Tesla have their work cut out.<\/p>\n

Tesla Cybertruck<\/h2>\n

Tesla<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With a unique look unlike anything we\u2019ve seen before, the Tesla Cyrbertruck is a polarizing electric truck, and here\u2019s everything we know so far<\/a>. What to expect from the Cybertruck is well-documented at this point. It\u2019s huge, powerful, fast, sports a bare steel design, bullet-proof windows, and has seen delay after delay. Initially promised to arrive in 2021 for around $39,999, the latest reports suggest Tesla won\u2019t even begin production until 2023.<\/p>\n

Since first being announced in 2019, a lot has changed in the EV space. The Rivian R1T truck has several neat features like crab walk and 4-wheel steering, both of which Elon Musk recently confirmed Tesla would add to the Cybertruck<\/a>. If Tesla\u2019s Cybertruck can genuinely deliver on its promise of towing 14,000 lbs, getting 500-miles per charge, and everything else, it\u2019ll outclass the F-150 Lightning and Silverado EV. That said, with such a late arrival, we could see Ford already working on upgrades to its F-150 to take on or one-up Tesla.<\/p>\n

Whenever the Cybertruck eventually gets released, it\u2019ll be a big deal.<\/p>\n

GMC Sierra EV<\/h2>\n

GMC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While we could have notched the GMC Sierra EV in with the Silverado EV, they\u2019re not the same truck. Yes, they\u2019ll have similar design cues and likely offer the same electrical components and specs, but we won\u2019t know for sure until the company shares more information. The one teaser image above looks nothing like the Silverado EV from the front.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2021, GMC shared its first teaser images<\/a> of the GMC Sierra Denali EV. GMC will officially unveil the electric truck sometime in 2022, plans to build it in Michigan, and it\u2019ll eventually hit the streets in 2023. The Sierra EV will use GM\u2019s Ultium battery packs to provide up to 400 miles of range. It\u2019ll likely pack all the same features as the Silverado, albeit in a more luxurious and expensive package. We won\u2019t know more until later this year once it makes an official debut.<\/p>\n

Lordstown Endurance<\/h2>\n

Next up is an EV brand many people have never heard of, but they have an exciting truck on the way. Lordstown Motors is a startup EV company similar to Rivian, only they\u2019ve faced a lot of trouble and financial hurdles along the way.<\/p>\n

Initially intended as a fleet vehicle with a limit of 80mph, the company claims it\u2019ll eventually offer it to regular customers. The company says its Endurance is capable of over 250-miles per charge, can tow over 7,500 lbs, and gets power from a 109-kWh battery pack capable of delivering nearly 600 horsepower.<\/p>\n

This electric truck has seen several delays since the initial announcement and the $1,000 deposit system opened up, but you can learn more about it here<\/a>. As of right now, it\u2019s on track for an early 2023 release.<\/p>\n

RAM 1500 EV<\/h2>\n

RAM<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although it won\u2019t be coming to the market in 2022, the RAM 1500 EV is another fascinating EV truck. We don\u2019t know too much about it yet, considering its release isn\u2019t scheduled until 2024, but the concept image from RAM sure looks great. The company claims the 1500 EV\u00a0will offer a range of around 500-miles per charge, can tow over 10,000 lbs, and offer typical fast charging speeds and autonomous driving features. With a 2024 arrival, RAM will have plenty of time to learn from Rivian, Ford, and Chevrolet before dropping its full-size EV truck. Being late to the game could end up paying off, too.<\/p>\n

RAM first shared<\/a> its electric truck plans in July of 2021, but we still don\u2019t have any other images to share. And while the company surprisingly mentioned it\u2019ll offer a mid-size electric truck too (similar to the Dodge Dakota), that\u2019s all we know right now.<\/p>\n

Toyota Tacoma EV<\/h2>\n

Last but not least, we have to mention the Toyota Tacoma-looking EV pickup<\/a>. At the end of 2021, Toyota debuted a slew of new, upcoming, and prototype vehicles and announced plans to produce over 15 electric vehicle models by 2025.<\/p>\n

One of the most exciting vehicles from the announcement is the truck shown above. And while Toyota didn\u2019t call it a \u201cTacoma EV\u201d and instead just mentioned an EV Pickup Truck, it\u2019s clear we\u2019re looking at what\u2019s likely the next-generation Toyota Tacoma EV. Toyota\u2019s concept electric pickup truck looks like a slightly larger Tacoma with subtle changes similar to the new 2022 Tundra.<\/p>\n

And while we don\u2019t have any further information on Toyota\u2019s EV truck at this time, we can expect to learn more throughout the year. It\u2019ll need to be a compelling truck that can rival the Rivian R1T or notch in slightly below the bigger F-150 Lightning, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n\n

More electric trucks are on the way, but these are the earliest or most important releases for the United States. Fans and enthusiasts could also check out the\u00a0Bollinger B2,\u00a0Atlis XT, or the odd\u00a0Canoo Pickup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Things like mileage ratings, towing, offroad capabilities, and how the battery and electric system handle all those scenarios will be essential for an electric truck. Sure the F-150 Lightning can go 300-miles per charge with some weight in the cargo bed, but what happens when you\u2019re towing a trailer or boat behind it? Then what type of driving distance is possible? Recent reports show the Rivian R1T lost over 60% of its driving range<\/a> while towing. It\u2019s also smaller than a full-size F-150 Lightning, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing we do know, it\u2019s that the next few years are going to be very exciting for truck owners and electric vehicles overall. As more information becomes available for these pickup trucks or new ones get announced, we\u2019ll update this guide with all the details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
