DETROIT – From electric car startups to the old-school Detroit auto giants, the automotive industry is gearing up for a battle royal as companies race to deliver the first all-electric pickup truck to the mass market.
The best-selling vehicle in the U.S. is a pickup truck (Ford’s F-150). Meanwhile, electric vehicle sales have been steadily rising for years, with some analysts expecting those numbers to jump by nearly 40% globally in 2021, topping 3 million electric vehicles sold around the world.
So, it was just a matter of time before automakers began flooding the market with electric trucks.
On Monday — after selling out reservations for its first set of R1T pickups — Rivian opened another round of pre-orders. Elon Musk and Tesla generated buzz with the wild (and smashing) unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck in November 2019. And, Ford has also said the electric version of its best-selling F-150 will finally be available in 2022.
Here’s a look at some of the most anticipated electric pickups set to hit the market over the next few years.
