Electric Pickups Are Upleveling The Power Of EVs

The electric pickup is more than this year’s trend and landmark, it is a testament to the evolving needs of modern and eco-conscious society. From Rivian Automotive Inc RIVN whose R1T has already hit to the road to the eagerly anticipated Cybertruck that Tesla Inc TSLA is slated to release by the end of the year, these mighty vehicles promise to redefine the way we travel while powering us to explore previously inaccessible terrains. With the latter, of particular use will be two proprietary products from tonneau cover maker, Worksport Ltd WKSP.

With such innovative battery technologies, electric trucks are stretching their legs and getting to cover more ground between charges, empowering us to access and even power remote locations, and all of that with zero-polluting clean energy.

Worksport SOLIS And COR Promise To Enhance Pickup Power

Worksport designed SOLIS solar-powered tonneau cover on the concept of bringing sustainable power to gas-powered pickups and enhancing the charge of EV pickups, like the one from Rivian, Ford Motor F, and General Motor GM. Hyundai Motor Company HYMTF Santa Cruz 2024 will be equipped with a customized version of this groundbreaking product. Although many pickup trucks already offer outlets in the bed, they don't run on solar power. Worksport went a step further to enable drivers to truly experience off-grid freedom. With solar energy, the SOLIS solar folding tonneau cover charges the COR portable battery system that can generate up to 650W of power. This is why SOLIS and COR are the first products of this kind as they pair green technology with hard-working toughness that comes with pickup truck tonneau covers. In simple words, they allow us to disconnect from the civilization while staying connected as they are portable power team that brings power on the go. Moreover, the COR portable battery system and storage can be recharged using any wall outlet or portable solar panels, so anyone can use it, anywhere, anytime- and even without a pickup truck.

Bringing The Electric Pickup To Life Is By No Means An Easy Task

Rivian was the first to bring an electric pickup to life, yet no one knows more than pickups than the legendary Ford and the EV king title still undoubtedly belongs to Tesla. But Ford is facing setbacks on its EV path, and the price war that Tesla started and recently rekindled, made it lower the price of its F-150 Lightning, the electric version of what has been America’s best-selling vehicle for four decades. But even an electrifying twist of an American icon alone can’t bring Ford to its EV future with its EV segment slated to lose $1.5 billion more than anticipated this year, bringing the total annual EV loss to $4.5 billion. Ford blamed Tesla or more precisely, its price war, for postponing its EV plans,  as it will not be able to meet its annual output target of 600,000 EVs this year. Although Tesla is finally bringing the Cybertruck to the road this year, even the mighty Tesla moved its production deadline several times. Therefore, not a single EV player had it easy when it comes to making an electric pickup.

Electric pickups are slated to rewrite four wheels transportation but the bigger picture is that they will also play an important part in redefining camping and all kinds of off-grid adventures. By getting to access remote locations and being able to power them, the potential to improve aid responses in case of floods and fires is also not to be underestimated. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that electric pickups have the potential to enhance the quality of life throughout the planet. Along with the growing charging infrastructure, the arrival of electric pickups could even erase range anxiety altogether, and therefore, greatly fueling EV adoption.
