Rivian R1T
The Rivian electric truck is built with the latest automotive technology to provide comfort and perfect performance on the road when carrying passengers rather than carrying goods.

The manufacturing of Rivian R1T will begin with the 180-kilowatt hour (kWh R1T model in 2021, preceded by the trims in 2022. The company stated that prices will start at US$69,000.
Electric Ford F-150

The giant auto firm has announced its intentions to make electric F-150 a pick up. In an interview with CNBC media, the Ford Chief Operating Officer Mr. Jim Farley was quoted saying the F-150 will be in the market in mid-2022.
