The Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado and Ram 1500 are among the top three pickup trucks in the United States. All three American pickups will be available in pure electric versions.
The Ford F-150 Lightning, which was the first to undergo electrification, began, with the other two brands launching at the Silverado EV in 2023 and the Ram 1500 BEV in 2024. At that time, the three most representative pickup trucks in the United States will all enter the electric pickup truck market.
How hot is the pure electric pickup truck, maybe even Ford itself did not think that in the past to drag such a large-size pickup truck as the Raptor, it was impossible without a V8 engine, but after Ford launched the F-150 Lightning, it did not expect that in just a few months, the scheduled volume exceeded 200,000 vehicles, which made Ford's production capacity stretched. Later, after the launch of the Chevrolet Silverado EV, it sold out in the first 12 minutes, which was also surprising.
Finally, the Ram 1500 BEV pure electric pickup, scheduled for 2024, produces a total system output of 900 horsepower and will be released to the highest specifications for up to 800 kilometers on a single charge.
The Ram 1500 BEV is an electric version of the Ram 1500 based on the STLA platform, one of Stellaantis' next-generation modular platforms. It is said that it is possible to travel up to 800 km by loading batteries with a capacity of up to 200 kWh on an electrified frame chassis dedicated to on-road and off-road all-weather driving.
Each motor has an output of 450 hp, and when dual motors are installed, the total output of the system can reach 900 hp. Rival F-150 Lightning is equipped with an electric motor, a system output of 563 hp, a maximum torque of 107.1 kgf·m, and a single charge for 370 to 482 km (based on U.S. EPA).
The Silverado EV debuted at CES 2022, which ended on the 7th local time, with a system output of 664 horsepower, a maximum torque of 107.8 kgf·m, and a maximum range of 644 kilometers on a single charge (based on General Motors standards).
The biggest competitor to these three electric pickups is the Tesla Cybertruck. Production of the car will also begin this year. Unlike the three models mentioned above, the Cybertruck, which has a total of four electric motors, has a range of up to 500 miles (about 800 kilometers) on a single charge, and uses four-wheel steering technology to "crab mode" and can rotate 360 degrees to the ground. Introduction of "tank steering" technology.
Divided into 250 miles (about 400 kilometers), 300 miles (about 480 kilometers) and 500 miles (about 800 kilometers) based on the number of motors installed, north American prices start at $39,900 and are expected at $49,900 and $69,900. So it's not a particularly expensive car. Cheaper than a pure electric Hummer pickup, which is also one of the advantages of the Tesla Cybertruck.
