Tesla Cybertruck, Rivian R1T, GMC Hummer EV and More: New Electric Trucks to Watch For
This Edmunds video provides a comprehensive overview of upcoming electric trucks, featuring the GMC Hummer EV, Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 EV, Rivian... more R1T, Bollinger B2, and Lordstown Motors Endurance. The hosts highlight the immense torque figures for the Hummer EV, cautioning that the advertised 11,500 lb-ft may be wheel torque rather than motor torque. For the Cybertruck, they praise its on-paper specs like range and acceleration but raise concerns about real-world towing range reduction and charging accessibility with trailers. The F-150 EV is discussed in the context of Ford's challenge to integrate an electric variant into its best-selling, traditionally ICE-powered lineup, with questions about charging infrastructure and cold-weather performance. The Rivian R1T is presented as a more realistic and practical offering, striking a balance between futuristic design and familiar pickup truck attributes. Bollinger's B1 and B2 are noted for their rugged, off-road focus and unique features but are positioned as niche, high-cost, low-volume vehicles. The Lordstown Endurance is highlighted for its fleet-oriented approach and innovative in-wheel motor technology. The video emphasizes the rapid evolution of the EV truck market and the need for consumers to stay updated. less

Electric Trio: The Chevrolet Bolt, Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model 3 Square Off
This Edmunds comparison pits the Chevrolet Bolt, Nissan Leaf, and Tesla Model 3 against each other to assess their strengths and weaknesses. The Tesla... more Model 3 emerges as the most powerful and best-handling vehicle, offering a refined driving experience and the longest claimed range (310 miles for the Long Range version tested). However, its high price point ($55,000 for the tested model) is a significant drawback, and interior build quality issues are noted.
