The world of electric trucks is here to prove that going green doesn’t mean you have to compromise on ruggedness or power. These eco-warriors are built tough, loaded with torque, and ready to tackle everything from muddy trails to worksite hauls — all while saving the planet one charge at a time. Here’s a deep dive into 20 electric trucks that prove green can be gloriously mean.
Rivian R1T
Let’s start with a trailblazer. The Rivian R1T is a groundbreaking all-electric adventure truck that debuted in 2021, making waves in the EV and off-road markets. Its 314-mile range (on the Large battery pack) ensures confidence on long trips, while an 11,000-pound towing capacity highlights its utility. Off-road enthusiasts love its 14.9 inches of ground clearance, adjustable air suspension, and innovative Tank Turn feature (forthcoming), enabling it to pivot on its axis. It can also wade through 3 feet of water.
Ford F-150 Lightning
The king of trucks went electric, and it’s as glorious as it sounds. The F-150 Lightning keeps all the toughness you’d expect from the F-Series but adds a 580-horsepower electric twist. With a towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds and a payload of 2,000 pounds, the Lightning is no lightweight in work capability. Also, the innovative “frunk” (front trunk) adds 14.1 cubic feet of secure storage. Ford’s Pro Power Onboard feature provides up to 9.6 kW of power for tools or even home backup.
Tesla Cybertruck
Love it or hate it, the Tesla Cybertruck is here to disrupt the truck scene. Made from ultra-hard, cold-rolled stainless steel, the Cybertruck boasts exceptional durability and corrosion resistance.

Also, its range varies from 250+ to 500+ miles, depending on the model, and its adaptive air suspension provides excellent off-road capability.

Practicality shines through its 10,000-pound towing capacity and innovative features like the Multi-Flex Midgate, allowing extra cargo space by extending into the cabin. Not to mention, the front trunk (“frunk”) adds storage versatility.
GMC Hummer EV Pickup
The Hummer is back, but it’s hugging trees instead of destroying them this time. Wide fender flares and a high ground clearance give it a commanding presence, while the underbody armor highlights its off-road intentions. Also, the 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires emphasize its readiness for extreme terrains, with options to upgrade to 37-inch tires. The design is utilitarian yet tech-focused, with a 13.4-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital driver display.

It offers unique features like a pass-through cargo system that stretches from the front trunk (frunk) to the tailgate, accommodating items up to 16 feet long. The foldable rear seats and removable panels further enhance cargo versatility. And, with 15-inch ground clearance, removable doors, and a windshield, it’s perfect for those who think roads are for wimps.

Nikola’s Badger is as wild as its name suggests. A brainchild of Nikola Corporation, it was pitched as a hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric hybrid pickup truck, capable of a whopping 600-mile range (300 miles battery-only, 300 more with hydrogen). And, with 906 horsepower and a claimed 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, it sounded like a monster on wheels. It was also meant to tow 8,000 pounds and even power your campsite with a built-in 15 kW generator.

With three configurations—Standard, Premium, and Super—this truck’s performance ranges from respectable to downright electrifying, with up to 700 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.9 seconds.
Toyota Hilux BEV
The Hilux is known for indestructibility, and its electric version aims to uphold that legacy. Packed with a potent electric motor, the Hilux BEV promises torque galore (ideal for hauling gear or pulling friends out of a ditch). Though Toyota hasn’t spilled all the beans about the battery range, whispers suggest it’s aiming for practicality, not just showroom glamour. Built on the classic Hilux chassis, this BEV keeps the grit but ditches the gas. And, with Toyota’s EV expertise (looking at you, bZ4X), the Hilux BEV could be a game-changer for rugged EVs. But it’s still in prototype mode, so your electric dreams may need patience.
Fisker Alaska
Fisker’s entry into the electric truck arena is the Alaska, a sleek and versatile midsize truck. Sharing its DNA with the Fisker Ocean SUV, the Alaska is essentially an Ocean that embraced its rugged side and hit the gym. Fisker claims the Alaska will be the world’s most sustainable pickup truck and the lightest electric truck on the market.

While specific powertrain details remain under wraps, it’s clear that VinFast aims to challenge rivals like the Rivian R1T and the upcoming Fisker Alaska. As for the VF 8, VinFast’s electric SUV sibling offers a zippy powertrain that can accelerate to 60 mph in approximately 5.5 to 6.5 seconds.
