Here are 10 electric pickups you need to know about

An all-electric pickup truck from an American start-up… you know where this is going. Right? Except you don’t, because this pickup comes from an American start-up called Rivian. And, unlike that other pickup from that other company, it’s already in production.

Early trucks get a 300-mile range (longer- and shorter-range versions are coming) and quad-motor powertrain for 0-60mph in as little as three seconds, with prices starting from $67,500 (approx. £55k). It’s not short of loadspace either, with 330-litres in the bonnet, 350-litres in the lockable ‘gear tunnel’, and a 200-litre sealed bin beneath the rear bed floor. Oh, and it can supposedly wade through over 900mm of water and tow almost five tonnes.

Rivian has also promised a seven-seat SUV sibling, the R1S, though no word yet of when production might begin. You can read our first drive of the R1T below.
