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

Electric vehicles keep gaining traction, with a slew of models headed to market in the next couple of years. Global electric car sales were up 199% year over year last May, and those numbers should grow as larger EVs — crossovers, SUVs, and pickups — go into production. Here’s a rundown of what’s available, plus what’s in the pipeline if you’re willing to wait, including Toyota's first electric vehicle that will be available nationwide, slated to hit dealerships by the end of the year. 

Editor's note: This story has been updated since publication. Many numbers are estimates; details will emerge as vehicles get closer to market.

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, the vehicle size, and body style. The standard front-wheel drive configuration can go 0 to 60 mph in under seven seconds, but upgrading to the all-wheel-drive dual-motor model only adds 13 horsepower in an effort to keep the drive experiences similar.  Look for it 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 currently does nothing because the truck's owners will 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 will make only electric vehicles. The first versions will be expensive, with “cheaper” models (still starting at $79,995) following. Those who order the pickup now probably won't get their hands on it until 2024 due to tens of thousands of reservations in the pipeline.

With more than a million reservations, customers will unfortunately 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 won't be able to 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 recently unveiled the Silverado EV at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, announcing that it will go into production in spring 2023. Unlike many electric trucks, this one has a smooth front instead of a faux grille, making it a good pick for anyone who wants to stand out. Though it's about the same size as its non-electric brother, 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 0 to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds.

A new version of America’s favorite truck is expected to roll onto dealers' lots by the middle of the 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 has 200,000 orders for the truck and has had to stop taking reservations for now.

The Model X is a pioneer among electric SUVs, MotorTrend says — “the first vehicle of its kind to offer practical all-electric range.” The standard model seats five, but a six- or seven-seat configuration is available as an upgrade. 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.

Rivian officially beat its much larger rivals to the punch, with its first batch of the R1T truck — the first-ever electric pickup — rolling off its Illinois assembly line in September. The truck, capable of towing 11,000 pounds, is available to order on Rivian's website (the startup does not have showrooms) and buyers have seven days or 1,000 miles to return the vehicle after delivery, according to CNN.

Originally offered in the 2019 model year, the E-Tron is “one of our favorite luxury electric SUVs” and offers the creature comforts of an Audi Q7, Edmunds says. A sleeker Sportback version has the same driving performance with a little less headroom in the back and a slightly smaller range.

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 recent 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.

Car and Driver says that plan includes four battery packs, a six-speed manual transmission, and a clutch system that gives a little power back to the batteries when in use. The Magneto is still a concept vehicle at this point.

Those tools include a powerful motor, standard rear-wheel drive, and a “high-voltage electrical architecture” for long-distance cruising.

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, recently 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.
