It is not new that the automobile industry is going fully electric, so, in this article, we will look at the best electric trucks of 2022. Currently, there are just a few fully electric trucks, but still, it is possible to pinpoint the best among the few. Unlike regular electric cars, these trucks come with beds that can accommodate larger and heavier items, unlike regular EVs. Also, we can consider these vehicles as some of the most powerful EVs available to date.
Rivan R1T
The Rivan R1T is an all-wheel electric vehicle that comes with a large battery pack that offers up to 400 miles on a single charge. This electric truck comes with a total output of 600 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. Rivan says that this electric truck can hit an acceleration of 0-60 in under 3 seconds.
Since this is a truck, buyers might want to make use of it while towing bulky items and the Rivan R1T has a towing capacity of up to 11,000 lbs. In terms of its design, both interior and exterior, the R1T is one of the most impressive on our list. The truck also has a ton of storage in different parts, with the largest being the truck bed, which measures 51.1-inches in length. Currently, this electric truck retails for $87,000 via the Rivan official website.
2023 Ford F150 Lightening
The battery capacity on the Ford F150 Lightening is less than that we see on the Rivan R1T, as it only produces a range of 320 miles on one charge. It comes with two electric motors and an all-wheel drive, combining this with its battery will produce 452 horsepower and the torque here is 775 lbs-ft. When accelerating, Ford says that the F150 Lightening will hit 0-60 in just under 4 seconds, making it quite fast.
For heavy-duty requirements, this electric truck boasts a towing capacity of 10,000 lbs for its top specification model. The exterior design of the F150 Lightening is quite similar to that we see on the hybrid F150, but it brings a few changes, the majority of which are on the inside. There is good storage on this electric truck both in the truck since it lacks a combustion engine and its truck bed measures 67.1-inches in length. For its pricing, the Ford F150 Lightening starts at just under $100,000 for the top specification model.
GMC Hummer EV Pickup
The GMC Hummer EV Pickup is a bold, aggressive, and powerful electric truck with all-wheel drive and 329 miles on a single charge. For its power, the Hummer EV pickup flexes over 1000 horsepower, more than the other two electric trucks on our list, and it has a torque of 11,500 lbs ft on all motors combined. This truck is not only the most powerful it is also the fast (in terms of acceleration) on the list making 0-60 in just 3.3 seconds, just amazing.
Towing on the Hummer EV Pickup is less than that on the 2023 Ford F150 Lightening and the Rivan R1T as it can tow only 7500 lbs. The exterior design of this electric truck is aggressive, and the interior design is also unique. One cool feature of this truck is that it can take off its roof, revealing a “skeletal structure” that makes it even more aggressive looking. As for the length of the truck bed on this car, it measures 60.1-inches and the truck starts at $110,000 for its top specification model.
These are the best electric trucks of 2022, and they are all efficient at what they do, both on-road and off-road. More EV brands out there will start rolling out their electric trucks, hence saturating the market with options and stepping up the competition. With the release of new trucks, we will make an update to include the new options available and their features and pricing.
