2021 was the year of electrified trucks
Fox News
Hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery-powered trucks were the big news in electric vehicles in 2021, and there's more to come.
Ford started the year with the F-150 PowerBoost, the first hybrid version of the full- size truck, and ended it with the Maverick Hybrid, a compact pickup that gets 37 mpg and starts at $21,490, making it the lowest-priced Ford, pickup and hybrid vehicle on sale today.
Jeep also ventured where it never had before with the plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe, which can go 22 miles on just electricity and combines the electric motor with a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine for longer trips. It’s power rating of 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque made it the most-powerful Wrangler ever until the V8-powered Wrangler 392 arrived with 475 hp and 475 lb-ft and an old-school 14 mpg fuel economy rating to go with it.
But it was American startup Rivian that was first to market with an all-electric truck. Its R1T midsize pickup packs a four-motor, all-wheel-drive system with over 800 hp and the ability to tackle the toughest terrain.
