Meet The Electric Trucks Arriving Next Year 2021

When you hear the word truck, you don’t usually think of electric. The next year will bring a lineup of electric trucks that are able to do what you need while delivering an electric powertrain and awesome HP. You wonder will there be truck accessories for these new vehicles? You bet ya.

When Tesla revealed its Cybertruck in late 2019, everyone was excited about this electric pickup, but it will not start production until 2022, so there is still time to wait. Even so, some reports indicate there are already about 500,000 reservations.

This truck has an eye-catching body made of stainless steel and four doors. Inside, it has a huge touchscreen control panel. The prototype’s body styling is certainly unique, so there is a fair chance that Tesla will make changes to it. Tesla does hope to use stainless steel stamping in production.

Depending on the version you choose, you can go 250 miles or more than 500 miles on a single charge. There will also be the choice of versions with one, two, or three motors, which directly affects the truck’s range, with one motor at the low end, three motors at the high end, and the dual-motor configuration in the middle with 300 miles.

In terms of performance, expect the dual-motor version to reach 120 mph and the single-motor version to reach 110 mph. The tri-motor configuration also has impressive acceleration, reaching 60 mph from a standstill in under 2.9 seconds. This is the best of the already-released acceleration figures on this list.

The most-affordable of the Cybertrucks will actually be very budget-friendly, starting at $39,900, but expect this price to increase quickly with more accessories and upgrades.

In the last two years, we have seen prototypes of the Rivian R1T. For a while, it seemed uncertain whether this prototype would become a reality, but the recent partnership with Ford changed that. Since October 2020, we have known that it will make it to production, which will begin in June 2021. The production was originally planned to start about six months before that, but the pandemic caused delays.

The Rivian R1T should follow the prototype fairly closely, including its conventional layout and unique styling. There is also a unique tank turn feature, which means that the wheels on opposite sides can move in opposite directions. We also know that there will be three batteries to choose from, including 105, 135, and 180 kWh options. The powertrain will deliver as much as 750 horsepower along with a torque of 829 pound-feet. Expect a range of an impressive 400 miles.

When the Rivian R1T hits the market, expect to pay about $70,500 for it.

The Nikola Badger will not only be offered as an electric pickup but also as one with a hydrogen fuel-cell system. That system will arrive later on, so you have to wait a bit for it. You get the traditional layout, more or less, with the exception of the futuristic interior and the large battery. You also get a large touchscreen and great additional truck accessories. This truck looks awesome in our book.

In terms of performance, expect a range of 300 miles and a 160 kWh battery. The Badger will deliver 980 pound-feet of torque and 906 horsepower.

One interesting note is that instead of building the Badger in-house, Nikola is using another OEM, which has not yet been named. Sales will likely start in 2022, which gives Nikola plenty of time to announce a price, which it has not yet done.

The Lordstown Endurance was only unveiled in October 2020, but that still gives us enough time to get excited about this electric pickup. It will have a four-door layout that is familiar to anyone who has driven a truck.

Sales will likely start in early 2021, but private buyers will not have access. Initially, Lordstown will only sell the Endurance to large businesses that operate fleets, like utility companies. Eventually, it will likely reach consumers as well.

Until then, you can admire its 600-horsepower engine, the separate hub motors on each wheel, and the fairly affordable expected price of $52,500 or so.

You’ll see this beast hit the roads in late 2021 with both pickup truck and SUV models. The vehicles provide a range of 350 miles on a full charge, reach 60 mph in just 3 seconds, and has 1,000 horsepower. You can expect to see the pickup version first. The GMC Hummers will be the first to feature the Ultium batteries and engine that GM has been talking about. There will be two Ultium drive units working with three motors. There will also be variants available with one or two motors for those who don’t need as much power.

One motor is over the front axle while two are housed in the back. The vehicle has a rough segment roof as well as a unique ‘CrabWalk.’ The four-wheel steering is responsible for this. Charging is quick and painless with 100 miles of energy in just 10 minutes of charging because of the DC fast-charger. Accessories like Semi-autonomous driving is possible with SuperCruise with the vehicle having additional truck accessories like minimum of 18 cameras all around. For entertainment, you’ll enjoy a 13.4-inch infotainment screen for all your information and guidance.

You can expect to pay between $80,000 and $113,000 for one of these new electric trucks.

The Ford F-150 is among the most popular pickup trucks, so experts have high hopes for the Ford F-150 Electric and predict that it will be among the more popular of the electric trucks on this list. When you compare the F-150 Electric to its non-electric counterparts, you will notice very few differences, as Ford says it will use existing engineering wherever possible.

While we have seen a prototype, that prototype was based on the last generation of the F-150, and Ford is still being tight-lipped about the upcoming electric vehicle, so details are sparse. We do know that it can tow a freight train, based on that last-gen prototype.

You can likely expect to see the F-150 Electric at dealerships in the middle of 2022, so a little patience is required. It will likely cost around $50,000, making it among the more accessible electric pickups on this list.

Another electric truck that is based largely on existing trucks with traditional powertrains, the Chevrolet EV Truck will likely be similar to the Silverado, based on expert predictions. You should also expect this electric truck to have some common features with the Hummer truck accessories on this list, at least in terms of the platform.

This truck will focus more on function over form. It will be able to go 400 miles on a charge, a great range. There will be various battery options from 50 kWh all the way up to 200 kWh.

Expect to pay about $50,000 to $70,000 for the Chevy EV Truck, but you will have to wait a little, as production won’t start until late 2021.

Experts predict that the Bollinger B2 electric truck will start production in 2021, along with the B1 SUV. This electric pickup will focus on functionality, with a fairly spartan interior. It should deliver a rugged performance off the road and have enough range to meet the average person’s needs. That range is about 200 miles, thanks to a 120 kWh battery.

Just some of the features that should make the Bollinger B2 an off-road-capable truck include its geared axle hubs and hydropneumatic suspension. These features mean that it will also do well as a work truck and for daily use. Those interested in power will appreciate its 614 horsepower and 688 pound-feet of torque, as well as its 7,500-pound towing capacity. If you prefer speed over utility, the B2 will reach 100 mph.

This truck is ready for hauling as well as towing, with a pass-through interior that lets you accommodate cargo as long as the truck itself. This means that you can effectively have a bed length of 8.17 feet by opening the cab wall and removing the rear seats. Use that to take full advantage of its 5,001-pound payload capacity. It is also ready for off-roading with a 15-inch ground clearance.

The cost for the B2 will likely be about $125,000, so start saving up.

 Atlis XT

The Atlis XT will have a range of 500 miles on the upgraded version or 300 miles on the entry-level configuration. The team at Atlis, including the CEO, is confident that it will be able to deliver a payload capacity of 5,000 pounds and a towing capacity of 35,000 pounds.

The automaker is working hard to develop a strong battery and is already seeing success. It should charge fully in just 15 minutes. This will be a fairly sizable step, as the current best charging rate in the EV truck segment is 80 percent charge in 20 minutes. In other words, Atlis expects to reduce the charge time and increase the charge percentage with the XT.

We know that the Atlis XT will be released for the 2022 model year, and experts expect it to start production in 2021 with a starting price of $45,000. Will there be truck accessories available for all these vehicles above? You bet ya shop Tufftruckparts.com.
