Every Electric Truck and SUV on the Market – and More Expected Soon

Electric vehicles keep gaining traction, with many new models headed to market in the next couple of years. Electric car sales globally were up 66% year over year in July, and those numbers should grow as larger EVs — crossovers, SUVs, and pickups — go into production, plus California's new law that bans the sale of nonelectric vehicles starting in 2035 might inspire other states to follow suit. What's more, confusion about a new tax credit might drive further demand in the first three months of 2023. Only a handful of trucks and SUVs on the Treasury Department's list are eligible for the credit, according to the New York Times. They include the Ford F-150 Lighting, Rivian's R1T and R1S, and the Tesla Model Y — though that could change after March. Here’s what’s available and what’s in the pipeline if you’re willing to wait, including a just-revealed electric Ram that could revolutionize the automaker's iconic truck line.

Unveiled at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show, Dodge's concept for its all-electric Ram has a sleek and sprawling body. Inside, the truck has third-row seating with a rail system to customize seating arrangements, plus a pass-through that allows it to haul objects up to 18 feet long. The stretched-out, futuristic pickup's rear doors open in the opposite direction of the front doors and the cabin is customizable, allowing drivers to even remove the center console to allow for more interior space.

The Spectre is Rolls-Royce's first EV, and you can tell by one glance that it's a Rolls. Despite being a 2-door coupe, it's massive: longer than many full-size SUVs, and about as sleek as they come. It's estimated to have a hefty price tag — $400,000, according to Car and Driver — to match. The specs are fine, but as with any super luxury vehicle, it's all about style. The signature front grille is the widest on a Rolls model, despite the lack of need for it, seeing as there's no engine to cool And Rolls' "starlight headliner" feature that fills the ceiling with a fiber optic starry sky? It runs down the doors in the Spectre, just in case the fact that it's a Rolls isn't impressive enough.

Jeep's all-electric Recon is being created specifically for off-roading and will be trail rated, with electronic locking axles, off-road tires, and underbody protection. The doors are removable and the top can be let down with power retraction. Reservations for the new EV are set to start in early 2023, though production isn't expected to begin until 2024.

Although the Wagoneer S is just a codename with the model name yet to be unveiled, Jeep has already been causing a stir with talk of the new electric model. The EV will come with standard four-wheel drive and a signature design that includes a sloping roofline and a forward-swept nose. Like the Recon, which is also part of Jeep's initiative to release four different models for its 2025 lineup, reservations for the Wagoneer S are to be available sometime in 2023.

With a low (for EVs) starting price, Chevrolet may be able to reach some potential buyers who have resisted the EV revolution because of cost. Starting at $30,000, the Equinox joins the company's Silverado EV and Blazer EV, but for less — at least for the basic model. More expensive versions offer hands-free driving, 300 miles of range, and a 19.2-kilowatt onboard charger. There are also two battery sizes that provide enough charge to go 250 or 300 miles. Neither version has a frunk, or front trunk, which Chevrolet says is costly to make and not a focus-group favorite.

Expected: 2023

Horsepower: 557

Range: 247 to 320 miles

Starting price: $44,995

Chevy is giving its iconic Blazer the EV treatment, including a souped-up SS performance trim that Chevy says can reach 60 mph in under 4 seconds. Three other trims are available for pre-order with a wide variety of powertrain options starting at just under $45,000. Three battery sizes are expected, though Chevy hasn't said how big the packs will be, according to Car and Driver. The first 2024 models are slated to be available in summer 2023, with the least expensive 1LT debuting in winter 2024.

The bZ4X is Toyota's first fully electric vehicle to be sold nationwide. Despite the angular styling, Car and Driver says the SUV is more utilitarian than edgy, and sports a clunky name that's a composite of "beyond zero" emissions, and its size and body style. The standard front-wheel drive configuration can go zero to 60 mph in under 7 seconds, but upgrading to the all-wheel-drive dual-motor model only adds 13 horsepower in an effort to keep the driving experiences similar. Look for bZ4X in dealerships of states participating in the zero-emission vehicle program now, with full nationwide rollout expected by the end of the year.

The electric Hummer pickup marks a shift for the historically stuffy GMC. Reviewers just now getting their first look say it's filled with cheeky features and references, like a "watts to freedom" mode (note the initials) and a prominent dash button that does nothing because the truck's owners determine its purpose. GMC is rolling out versions of the electric Hummer pickup over the course of several years, MotorTrend says, beginning later this year with the three-motor Edition 1 made at a retooled Detroit-Hamtramck plant that is slated to make only electric vehicles. The first versions will be expensive, with “cheaper” models (still starting at $80,000) following. Customers who order the pickup now probably won't get their hands on one until 2024 because of the tens of thousands of reservations in the pipeline.

With more than a million reservations, customers will have to wait another year to own this hotly anticipated, love-it-or-hate-it truck. Due to the global chip shortage, Tesla says it can't roll out any new models at all for 2022. When the eye-catching Cybertruck does hit the market, the single-motor model is expected to cost about $40,000, with a dual-motor version beginning at $49,900 and a three-motor model at $69,900.

GMC unveiled the Silverado EV at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2022 and said production would start in spring 2023. Unlike many electric trucks, this one has a smooth front instead of a faux grille. Though it's about the same size as Chevy's nonelectric pickups, the EV shares no parts with the regular Silverado. The battery in the high-end RST model allows for a 10,000-pound tow rating, and the truck can manage zero to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds.

A new version of America’s favorite truck debuted this year, powered by two electric motors. “Performance should be brisk, but we’ll have to wait until we can strap our test gear on to find out exactly how quick the new truck will be,” MotorTrend says. That was before President Joe Biden took one for a spin, shooting down the track in front of a pool of national reporters. You can’t buy publicity like that, and buyers have taken notice: Ford took 200,000 orders for the truck and has had to stop taking reservations. If you missed the first round, don't expect to get one of your own until 2023.

It’s a midyear update that offers a model with three electric motors producing 1,020 horsepower.

Ford took some heat for appropriating the iconic pony badge for these four-door electric crossovers. But all seems to be forgiven as the model, with styling inspired by the older muscle car, has turned out to be a solid seller. The just-released GT version adds more power — fans of the "real" Mustang may find 480 hp more agreeable than the base model's 266 — plus better suspension and sportier tires and seats. There's also a huge touchscreen that will make Tesla users feel at home if they switch over.

The Bolt electric utility vehicle isn’t an SUV, Edmunds says — mainly because it has less cargo space than the regular Bolt EV model. But Chevy argues that’s because of an oddity in the way the space is measured, and that the EUV really is bigger. After several car fires, GM told owners of 50,000 Bolts from earlier model years to park them outside immediately after charging. Not a great selling point.

Hercules Electric Vehicles started in 2018 in Detroit with the goal of building an electric pickup truck to launch a line of luxury “eco-utility” products. It was shooting for a drivable prototype by April with availability in late 2022, InsideHook says. But considering the prototype didn’t appear on schedule and the company is looking for more funding, it’s tough to say when — or if — we’ll see an Alpha in a showroom. Or it could become the basis for a rumored Nissan Titan electric truck.

Volkswagen is hoping to grab first-time car buyers with a cheap, "endearingly cute" electric SUV. The ID. Life, introduced at a Munich auto show, could become a reality in 2025, though there are likely to be changes from the concept car. We can only hope the street-ready version will also be made from several different recycled and renewable materials, including wood chips in the paint and recycled bottles in the removable roof. The concept car's tires are made from rice husks and natural rubber, too. Among the other head-turning features: An open-topped steering wheel with a touchscreen.
