When you think of an electric vehicle, trucks may not be the first thing that comes to mind. Many people buy trucks for work, hauling, towing, or other heavy-duty tasks on a vehicle. You’re probably wondering if an electric powertrain can do the job, and the answer is yes. Electric powertrains often have more power and torque than their gasoline engine counterparts, which means your new electric truck is probably better than the gasoline-powered Ford or Chevy truck you’re used to.
Aside from the power and torque, electric trucks will also save you a significant amount of fuel, something most trucks have never known before. Aside from the most popular electric trucks available, there are also a wide range of options that you may not have heard of before.
Gathering information from automakers and Car & Driver, we’ve compiled a list of new electric trucks you may not have heard about.
1 Neuron EV T.One
The Neuron EV T.One looks like something straight out of the movie Tron: Legacy. This truck has a sleek, aerodynamic exterior that features all-terrain tires, front tow hooks, rear recovery shackles, and plenty of LED lights, meaning it’s expected to be fully off-road capable.

2 Edison Future EF1-T
The EdisonFuture EF1-T is another strange but futuristic-looking electric truck that is expected to join the market soon. It is expected that a pickup truck version will be available in addition to a delivery truck, which means that this truck will be versatile.

The Atlis was launched in 2016, with the XT focused on competing with the new Ford F-150 Lightning.

4 Fishing in Alaska
The Fisker Alaska is expected to arrive in 2025, with many features that will make it a force to be reckoned with in the new electric truck market. The Alaska will be manufactured in the United States, priced at around $45,000. This truck is close in size compared to the Rivian R1T, while still competing with trucks like the Ford F-150 Lightning.
Expected specifications
-
4.5 feet long bed can be extended up to 9.2 feet
-
The starting price is aimed at around $45,000

Fisker claims that on the quicker models of the truck, you can expect 0-60 acceleration in 3.9 seconds. To put that into perspective, that’s just 0.9 seconds slower than the time of the Audi RS7 – which is one of the fastest sedans on the market.
5 Radar RD6
The Radar RD6 is manufactured by Geely Auto, coming from China, and is also produced overseas. Geely Auto, if you’re not already aware, is a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. It is the parent company of many electric car brands such as:
-
Guido
-
Lotus
-
Volvo cars
-
Remember
-
Co-owner of Polestar
While this truck is currently only sold in China, there is speculation that it will be exported to customers elsewhere in the future. A starting price has been set at CNY 178,800, which equates to about $24,870 in US dollars, meaning this truck is much cheaper than most other new alternative electric trucks.
6 Hercules Alpha
Hercules Electric Vehicle Company was founded in 2018, in Detroit, Michigan. Production is still in the early stages of this new electric truck, which means only a few features and specifications have been released. The exterior looks somewhat similar to the Nissan Titan, while also mixing more of a futuristic feel into the design.
Expected specifications

Over 300 miles of range
-
0 to 60 mph in four seconds

Hercules Alpha has already received more than $27 million in customer reservations, which means that with the reservation price listed on its website ($1,500) — it will already have about 18,000 units sold when it’s time for a full release.
7 Cano pickup truck
The Canoo Pickup Truck is a new replacement electric truck with a very unique look. It has been designed with the perfect balance of function, form and utility in mind. This electric truck will have a payload capacity similar to that of a full-size pickup truck, while having exterior space closer to that of a midsize pickup truck.
Expected specifications
Aside from the interesting design and versatile exterior, this truck will also be able to handle all types of terrain. Target horsepower is rated at over 500, while you can also expect a range of over 200 miles on a single charge.
8 Volkswagen Scout truck
Scout is set to be a new brand joining the market sometime in 2026, with an SUV and pickup model. Prototypes for each model are expected to launch sometime in 2025. This new electric truck will feature an all-new platform, while also being designed specifically for the US market.
Expected specifications
-
Based on an old truck made by International Harvester
-
Production begins in 2026
-
SUV and minivan models are expected
-
Volkswagen expects to sell 250,000 convertibles per year once it’s released in America
-
It is expected to be built in the United States
The Boy Scouts board came from an unexpected source. The name was previously popularized by truck and tractor manufacturer International Harvester, in the 1960s and 1970s. More than 50 years later, the Scout brand, under the Volkswagen Group umbrella, decided to take over the name while still implementing a look reminiscent of the original model from the 1960s.
9 Toyota Stout Electric Truck
The Toyota Stout is an all-electric compact pickup that is designed to compete with other pickup trucks like the Ford Maverick. An official release date has not been announced yet, however, Toyota plans to bring the Stout to market sometime in 2025. There is a possibility that this truck will eventually become a hybrid or all-electric vehicle, or perhaps both.
Expected specifications
-
Based on a compact pickup truck from the 1960s
-
It may be released in 2025
-
A hybrid and fully electric model is expected
-
Toyota plans to make the starting price around $23,000
You may not be aware of it, but the Toyota Stud, just like the Scout, was a vehicle that was previously sold as a gasoline-powered pickup truck in the 1960s. At that time, fuel was still fairly cheap, which meant that there was not a large market for small, fuel-efficient engined vehicles. However, the Stout still performs well, even with the 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine.
10 Alpha Wolf
The Alpha Wolf is one of the new electric trucks with a more aggressive look, while also reminiscent of the old-school square body design. It will be an all-electric two-door truck, with big wheel arches and off-road tires from the factory, meaning it will definitely be competent in off-road settings.
Expected specifications
-
Aggressive design
-
Two-door and four-door models are expected
-
The prototype has already been released
-
Estimated range is 275 miles
-
It is expected to be dual-motor all-wheel drive
-
DC fast charging
The standard compact WOLF model as well as the extended WOLF+ (extended cab) model are expected to hit the market, although an official time frame has not yet been set. Aside from the WOLF and WOLF+, an SUV model (called REX), a four-door pickup (called SUPERWOLF) will be on offer, as well as several coupes, sedans and crossovers.
