While a pickup may seem like the ideal electric car for numerous reasons, including segment popularity, pickups\u2019 high average sales price, and opportunities for greater efficiency, the electric-pickup market will be very crowded in two years. Rivian is making its own pickups and is behind Ford-branded versions, Bollinger is hitting the high end, Ram is reportedly prepping a joint venture, Tesla has shown a concept, Atlis has an XT Pickup shown (starting at $45,000), Workhorse is planning the W-15, and Havelaar (Canada) has the well-named Bison.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autobison.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/lucid.jpg\" alt=\"Lucid Motors electric car\" width=\"710\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autobison.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/lucid.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.autobison.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/lucid-440x240.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For those keeping track at home, there are an insane number of electric pickups on the way, though the lowest starting price is $45,000.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperion Motors will also show their first\u00a0car in New York this year.
