The very notion of an electric truck is a new and somewhat bizarre concept. Pickup trucks are supposed to be robust, raucous machines that grunt and growl as you put them to work doing things that no other class of vehicle can. So where does a pickup truck that’s an EV fit in? The answer is quite simple: Once you see just how much torque a set of electric motors can throw out at a moment’s notice, it’ll start to make sense. Sure, you lose out on the soundtrack of a standard gasoline or diesel engine, but performance figures don’t lie, and it’s becoming very clear that electric propulsion is the future in every classification. So, welcome to the age of the electric pickup truck.
