Given it was originally planned for 2021 and then 2022 we will refrain from putting the date in our diary in ink just for now though.Īlpha is – yes, you guessed it – another one of these American electric vehicle start-ups. It might actually be our best product ever.’ Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed this was still the plan in July 2022, when, in a call about the company’s second quarter financial results, he said: ‘We are still expecting to be in production with the Cybertruck in middle of next year.

However, full production is now delayed until 2023. Driving range is said to be 250-500 miles, with the most powerful going the furthest. Single-motor, dual-motor and tri-motor versions of the Tesla electric pickup are planned, delivering 0-60mph in 6.5, 4.5 or 2.9 seconds. You’re probably going to need beyond an ordinary UK driving licence for that, however. The exterior is made from stainless steel, the glass is supposedly armoured (though the tech demo of that didn’t go so well), and it’s claimed to have a payload in excess of 1,500kg and towing capacity of up to 6,350kg. Crazy name, even crazier looks, it’s planned by probably the most famous electric car company in the world and makes some extraordinary performance claims. If electric pickups have a posterchild it’s this, the Tesla Cybertruck. Is it coming to the UK? The company has no plans to sell the XT outside of the USA. And Atlis reckons the XT will have a ‘million mile’ service life. Payload is up to 2,267kg, while towing capacity is as much as 7,711kg. Power output is 600hp, torque 16,270Nm (again, one of those crazy EV figures). For that you’ll get 300 miles of driving range the full whack 500-mile model starts from $69,000 (around £50,000). Achieving this seems ambitious, but Atlis appears to be entirely serious, and has already set a starting price for the XT at $45,000 (around £32,500). How speedy? The current claim is 15 minutes – with the promise it will take just five minutes in the future. It stands out against all the other electric trucks listed here because it’s targeting a 500-mile driving range and promising new battery technology with a speedier charging time. The Atlis XT is an American work-focused ‘full-size’ electric heavy duty pickup truck that uses a motor-per-wheel electric drive system. GMC Hummer EV SUT electric pickup truck (2022) Will it come to the UK? Unlikely the F-150 has been imported privately before but is generally considered too big for UK roads. Payload is slightly limited at 907kg, but it will tow nearly 4,536kg – and has been priced from just $39,974 (which is currently about £28,000). More than this, though, it can offload power as well – not just for tools but potentially an entire house. The official driving range has now been announced at 230 or 320 miles per charge. There are two battery options, and 150kW fast charging is available. No wonder, then, that the Blue Oval is launching a 100% electric version.Ĭalled the Ford F-150 Lightning, it’s a dual-motor 4×4 with 563hp and 1,051Nm – more torque than any previous F-150. It’s a larger pickup than the Ford Ranger we get in the UK, and is in many ways Ford’s flagship model. The Ford F-150 is the bestselling vehicle of any type in the USA, and has been for decades. Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck (2022) Orders will open in August 2022 before deliveries kick off early in 2023. Will it come to the UK? It is confirmed as doing so, and earlier than expected. A version made its official UK debut at the 2022 CV Show. There are some downsides though – it is rear-wheel drive only, which is good for range but bad for off-roading, and it only has a payload of 740kg, which means it doesn’t qualify for the commercial vehicle tax status. Given the competitive nature of Maxus vans, expect it to be keenly priced too. As you can imagine, this doesn’t give the performance of some of the hero trucks here, but with a chunky 88.55kWh battery pack, it should be good for a WLTP-confirmed range of 198 miles – cheekily that is the city range, though.Įxpect the overall average range to be a little lower but the T90 does have some impressive extra qualities, like rapid charging in 45 minutes. You don’t get quite that much power from the electric model, which uses a single 130kW (177hp) electric motor.
