Let’s be honest — for a while there, electric trucks felt more like vaporware than something you could actually go out and buy. There were flashy prototypes, bold promises, and endless delays.
But in 2025? That’s finally changed.
This year, you can walk onto a dealer lot or place a real order and actually drive home in a fully electric pickup. No waiting lists, no fantasy specs, no concepts that might arrive “sometime next year.” These trucks are here, they’re real, and they’re changing the game for buyers who still want power, capability, and utility — just without the gas.
So if you’ve been on the fence about going electric with your next truck, this guide is for you. I’m breaking down the electric pickups that are actually available right now — not just promised. We’ll talk range, towing, pricing, features, and most importantly, which ones are actually worth your money.
Electric Trucks You Can Buy Right Now (No Pre Orders Needed)
1. 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning
Status: Widely available
Price Range: $54,995–$92,000
Range: 240 to 320 miles
Towing Capacity: Up to 10,000 lbs
Power: 452 hp (standard) or 580 hp (Extended Range)
Ford was the first legacy automaker to actually put an electric truck on the road — and it still shows. The F-150 Lightning is one of the most usable, practical, and smart electric pickups you can buy today.
You get the same aluminum body as the gas F-150, a massive front trunk (frunk), and Pro Power Onboard — which can run your tools or power your house. The ride is smoother than the gas version, acceleration is instant, and the interior tech is some of the best Ford’s ever put in a truck.
Who it’s for:
Contractors, weekend warriors, commuters, or anyone who needs a full-size truck that does real work — quietly and with no tailpipe.
Watch for:
Real-world towing cuts range significantly — you’ll need the Extended Range battery if you tow a lot.
2. 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck (WT)
Status: Available for fleets & slowly expanding to retail
Price Range: ~$54,000 (WT), $74,000+ (RST late availability)
Range: Up to 450 miles
Towing Capacity: 10,000 lbs (future versions up to 20,000 lbs)
Power: 510 hp (WT)
The Silverado EV takes a totally different approach than Ford. It’s built on GM’s new Ultium EV platform — which means more space, more range, and more clever features.
It has a midgate that expands bed length into the cab, 4-wheel steering, and a tight turning radius. Plus, it can tow and haul with the best of them.
Chevy’s currently shipping the Work Truck version, mostly for commercial fleets, but consumer deliveries are starting to trickle in. More trims are on the way through 2025.
Who it’s for:
If you want maximum electric range in a full-size truck, and you can grab a WT now or hold out for the RST, this is a smart long-term buy.
Watch for:
WT interior is very basic — this is a workhorse, not a luxury rig. RST will be more polished but pricey.
3. 2025 Rivian R1T
Status: Built-to-order, no waitlist — order and buy
Price Range: $73,000–$100,000+
Range: 270–410 miles (depending on battery and trim)
Towing Capacity: 11,000 lbs
Power: Up to 835 hp (Quad-Motor version)
The Rivian R1T is the most outdoorsy, tech-heavy EV truck out right now — and it’s not just flash. It’s got serious off-road chops, a beautiful interior, and the best ride quality in the segment.
You can order one today with dual-motor or quad-motor setups, and you’ve got options for standard, large, or max battery packs. Plus, Rivian’s delivery times have gotten fast. Some models can be delivered in under 6 weeks depending on config.
Who it’s for:
Drivers who live for road trips, campgrounds, gear-hauling, or just want something premium that doesn’t look like everything else.
Watch for:
Rivian’s service network is still growing — if you’re in a rural area, check coverage first.
4. 2025 GMC Hummer EV Pickup
Status: Available in limited trims
Price Range: $98,000–$110,000+
Range: 329 miles
Towing Capacity: 7,500 lbs
Power: 1,000 hp
The Hummer EV Pickup is more of a rolling flex than a practical daily truck — but if that’s what you’re after, it nails the brief.
It’s ridiculously fast (0–60 in 3.0 seconds), massive, and full of toys like CrabWalk, air suspension, and Super Cruise. It’s not subtle — and it’s not cheap — but it is a wild ride.
Who it’s for:
Luxury buyers, tech lovers, and off-roaders who want the biggest, baddest EV truck on the road.
Watch for:
It’s huge — like “won’t fit in your garage” huge. And the real-world efficiency isn’t great for the size of battery you’re carrying around.
5. 2025 Tesla Cybertruck (Dual-Motor & Tri-Motor)
Status: Delivery ramping up slowly
Price Range: $79,990–$99,990
Range: 320–340 miles
Towing Capacity: 11,000 lbs
Power: Estimated 600–850+ hp
It’s real. It’s finally out. And it’s… different.
The Cybertruck’s looks still divide people, but if you want Tesla speed, tech, and the best fast-charging network in the country, it’s a solid contender. The latest units now feature active suspension, rear-wheel steering, and armored stainless steel body panels.
Who it’s for:
Tesla loyalists, tech heads, or buyers who just want something that breaks necks everywhere it goes.
Watch for:
Build quality is still being dialed in. Panel gaps and software quirks still show up in early builds.
