One of the vehicle categories that is extremely popular in the United States are pickup trucks. As the interest in electric vehicles has been increasing in recent years, more and more electric pickups or their concepts are appearing on the market. Until now, Tesla's Cybertruck has attracted the most attention for its controversial design and "indestructible" windows. The GM brand is also looking for its place in this market, whose electric Hummer looks more than great, and various startups, such as Rivian, also have a chance. But another one is coming!
This week, a pickup was presented that will attract attention with its interesting and unusual design. The head of the Canoo company - Tony Aquila emphasized that they do not want to make a conventional vehicle based on past concepts.
Thus, the pickup has a large storage box that is modular and can be organized in different ways. There will also be upgrades available to turn this part into an RV and go on an outdoor adventure. The vehicle's battery can be used to power and charge electrical devices, turning your pickup into a traveling office.
Canoo announced some time ago that it is also planning a van and a sedan. All these vehicles will of course be electric. The pickup will use the same electric platform as the other vehicles, and the most powerful model will have two engines with around 600 HP potential and a range of around 320 kilometers. A cheaper version with one engine and shorter range will also be available. The management of the company hopes to increase the range to 480 km by the time of the official presentation and the start of handing over cars to the first customers.

The biggest challenge for the Canoo company is the start of sales, which goes back to 2023, because at that time there will be many competing vehicles on the market. That's when we expect pickups from Tesla, GM, Ford and Rivia.
Many are interested in its price, which remains a secret for now.
