We can expect to see a lot of new electric pickup trucks in the upcoming year 2026. These new pickup trucks will be eco-friendly and will prove the best option in the affordable price range. In the coming time, electric vehicles will hold a great position in the commercial vehicle industry of India. The key pickup truck models are described below:

1. Chevrolet Silverado EV

Chevy’s all-electric Silverado is making headlines for good reason. It’s expected to deliver over 700 km of range on a full charge and offer a towing capacity of more than 5,500 kg. It looks modern but still feels like a real work truckstrong, reliable, and surprisingly refined. Perfect for both business owners and off-road lovers.

2. GMC Hummer EV Pickup

If subtlety isn’t your thing, the Hummer EV pickup will speak to your soul. With nearly 1,000 horsepower, insane torque, and features like “Crab Walk” (yes, it moves diagonally!), it’s less of a truck and more of a showpiece that actually works. Whether you want to hit the mountains or make an entrance, this one delivers.

3. Ram 1500 Ramcharger (Plug-in Hybrid)

While technically a plug-in hybrid, this electric truck deserves a spot for its practicality. The Ramcharger gives you electric range for city use, backed up by a petrol generator when you need to go the extra mile. Great for folks still nervous about charging options, especially in remote areas.

4. Fisker Alaska

This one’s for the urban explorers. The Fisker Alaska is sleek, modern, and full of clever features folding mid-gate, under-bed storage, and a clean design. With a 0-100 km/h time of under 4 seconds and a decent range, it’s perfect for someone who wants a pickup with personality.

5. Slate Electric Truck

Here’s one for the budget-conscious buyers. Slate is planning to launch an electric pickup around Rs 25 lakh, focused on simplicity and utility. It’s not trying to be flashy, but instead aims to offer a clean design, a decent range, and practical features for everyday use. For small businesses and fleet operators, this could be a game-changer. Slate is gearing up to launch an electric pickup priced around Rs 25 lakh, and it’s taking a refreshingly simple approach.

Final Thought

Till now, electric trucks either cost a fortune or didn’t feel “ready” for real-world use. But what we are seeing for 2026 is different. Now there are options for everyone, whether you’re chasing performance, trying to save money, or just want a reliable, future-ready workhorse. And honestly, it’s no longer about going electric just for the planet. These trucks are starting to prove themselves tough, practical, and built to get work done, not just make headlines.
