From driveways to job sites to long stretches of highway, electric pickup trucks are becoming a more common sight across Canada. They create zero emissions while driving, powering tools and small appliances, and even acting as a full-house generator during power outages. As is the case with many battery electric vehicles (BEVs), electric trucks also cost less to maintain over their lifetime. Some even provide additional covered cargo space under their hoods.
Will electric pick-ups face challenges now that rebate programs are being rolled back across Canada? That remains to be seen, but it’s certainly a looming challenge. EV trucks are also criticized for how quickly they lose range during common tasks like towing and carrying payload, so that’s an important thing to consider before buying.
Since we created this list last year, two more battery electric trucks have arrived in Canada. Take a look below to peruse the best electric pick-up trucks coming to Canada in 2025 to learn more about your current options as well as those we’re still waiting for as of early 2025.
Prices shown include manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) plus destination charges and dealer fees unless indicated but do not include options or sales taxes. While current at time of publication, prices are subject to change.
The Best Electric Pick-up Trucks in Canada
- Ford F-150 Lightning
- Rivian R1T
- Chevrolet Silverado EV
- GMC Hummer EV Pickup
- Tesla Cybertruck
- Ram 1500 REV
- Toyota EPU
Ford F-150 Lightning
The F-150 Lightning full-size truck was the first electric truck to be announced by a mainstream automaker. It’s available with a 98 kWh standard battery pack with a driving range of 386 kilometres from a full charge and power output of 452 horsepower, or a 131 kWh extended range battery pack that can go up to 515 km with output of 580 hp. The F-150 Lightning is powered by a pair of electric motors that create all-wheel drive (AWD). At a 150 kW DC fast charger, the standard pack can recharge from 15 to 80% in roughly 36 minutes, while the extended-range pack can go from 15 to 80% in 41 minutes at a level 3 fast charging station.
With peak torque of 775 pound-feet, the electric F-150 offers more pulling power than any F-150 that came before it. Maximum towing capacity in the extended-range Lightning is 4,500 kilograms (10,000 pounds) — though testing suggest towing is a serious drain on range — while payload peaks at 1,000 kilograms (2,235 pounds). There is an available feature called Onboard Scales, which uses sensors to estimate payload and calculate how it will affect the truck’s range.
On the extended-range Lightning, the upgraded Pro Power Onboard feature is available, which adds household outlets at various points around the vehicle to provide electricity for external devices such as tools or small appliances. The Home Integration System can also let the truck power a full home during extended power outages. A 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity is standard, as is the Ford Copilot 360 suite of driver assistance technologies.
In Canada, pricing for the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro starts at $62,890. Initially, this trim was limited to fleet sales, but it’s now available to consumers in limited quantities. The top trim 2025 Ford F-150 Platinum is priced at $113,390.
Rivian R1T
When R1T electric pick-ups began for U.S. customers back in 2022, EV startup Rivian beat legacy automakers to the punch. Deliveries to Canadian customers followed later that same year.
In the Rivian R1T, four different powertrain configurations are available using from two to four motors to deliver standard AWD. Power output ranges from 533 hp in the Dual Motor Standard to a whopping 1,025 hp with the upcoming R1T Quad. Range estimates currently vary from 415 to 676 kilometres with Quad figures still to come.
Rivian has integrated some interesting storage solutions. A gear tunnel runs between the cab and the box, and it includes an extra power point in an otherwise-untapped location for stowing gear. Plus, the door can even be used as a seat. There are 311 litres of storage in the frunk under the hood along with a 12-volt outlet, and there’s another 405 litres of space tucked away below the 827-litre bed. The R1T’s promised max towing capacity is 4,990 kg (11,000 lbs). In Canada, pricing starts at $101,900, not including delivery charges or other fees, which vary based on your location.
Chevrolet Silverado EV
From General Motors comes the Chevrolet Silverado EV, which is powered by the same Ultium battery platform as the GMC Hummer EV. Canadian deliveries of the Chevrolet Silverado EV began late in 2024. There’s a wide variety of configurations to work with, including Standard Range, Extended Range, and Max Range batteries amid four different trims, all of which include standard AWD. The Work Truck (WT) is the only trim that offers all three batteries. It comes with 454 km in Standard Range format, 679 km in Extended Range, and 792 km in Max Range. The LT trim is offered in Extended Range with 657 km, and the RST comes in Extended Range (628 km) and Max Range (740 km). Power output peaks at up to 760 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque in the RST with the Wide Open Watts feature.
GM’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous highway driving assist technology is optional on LT and standard on RST. A 7.2 kW AC Offboarding Power feature is also available. The available midgate allows owners to extend longer items into the cabin so the tailgate can be closed. Pricing for the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV starts in Canada at $67,633 for the WT Standard Range and peaks at $121,333 for the RST Max Range. For a more upscale version of a very similar truck, opt for the 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali, which starts in Canada at $119,333.
GMC Hummer EV Pickup
When the GMC Hummer EV and Hummer EV Pickup made the rounds at car shows across the country, they attracted as much attention as supercars do. Kids and adults alike climbed into the driver’s seat to have photos snapped with huge smiles on their faces. Rarely have we seen any truck, electric or otherwise, generate this kind of buzz. The 2025 GMC Hummer EV Pick-up starts in Canada at $134,232, a price that makes it about as exclusive as a supercar, too.
What do you get for that investment? Peak range is up to 512 km according to Natural Resources Canada, while horsepower is listed at up to 1,000 hp and torque measures at up to a rather insane 11,500 lb-ft. Some of the cooler functionality includes crab walk, which uses four-wheel steering to let the truck drive diagonally at low speeds, an adaptive air suspension with up to 15 centimetres of lift for impressive off-road capability, and the Watts to Freedom drive mode that takes the Hummer EV Pickup from 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) in roughly 3 seconds.
Tesla Cybertruck
If you live in any major city in Canada, you’re likely well aware that Tesla Cybertruck deliveries have begun in Canada. These are already getting some interesting treatments, including the wraps some owners are having custom-made to differentiate from the standard exposed steel look.
The benefits Tesla claims owners will receive from a Cybertruck include three days or more of power delivery to a home during an outage, the Autopilot semi-autonomous hands-free driving system, EV-to-EV charging, a large glass roof, and forward illumination of up to 480 metres with the Cyberbeast trim. Tesla says the Cybertruck will go from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and can tow up to 4,990 kg (11,000 lbs) and payload of 1,134 kg (2,500 lbs). Natural Resources Canada has not published official range estimates as of this writing, but Tesla provides a figure of 484 to 512 km (or 705 to 755 km with the range extender). The Foundation Series produces combined power specs of 593 hp and 525 lb-ft of torque, while the Cyberbeast generates 845 hp and 864 lb-ft. Pricing for the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck in Canada starts at $137,990.
Ram 1500 REV
Ram was the last of the legacy automakers in North America to announce its EV truck plans when it confirmed that the Ram 1500 REV will begin production. It was originally slated to start delivery in 2024, but its arrival has now been delayed until sometime in 2026.
Here’s what we know about the Ram 1500 REV in Canada so far. Estimated range is placed at 560 km with the standard 168 kWh battery pack, while the optional 229 kWh battery pack will provide up to 800 km. Power output is pegged at 654 hp and 620 lb‑ft of torque, delivering a 0 to 100 km/h time of 4.5 seconds. The brand is predicting a towing capacity of up to 6,350 kg (14,000 lbs) and a payload capacity of up to 771 kg (1,700 pounds). Pricing will to be announced closer to the Ram 1500 REV’s arrival in Canadian dealerships.
Toyota EPU
Toyota made waves at the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show by putting its EPU Concept on the world stage. The Japanese marque has opted to go smaller for its next new pick-ups: the EPU’s footprint is smaller than a Tacoma. Because it’s still in concept form, no information has been released around power, range, price, or delivery dates. In fact, according to current rumours, it’s not even clear whether the EPU — which observers assumed stood for Electric Pick-Up — will even be battery electric at all. Recent rumours have it arriving in 2027 in gas and hybrid formats. We’ll need to keep an eye on this one.
