“This pickup can be used for work, weekend getaways, towing, or to climb snowy slopes without losing performance. No other electric pickup can drive in these conditions, ”says Trevor Milton.
Thanks to a system composed of a battery as well as a fuel cell powered by hydrogen, this pick-up with a more consensual design than the Tesla Cybertruck could reach a range of almost 965 kilometers, or more than 480 kilometers only with the battery. This vehicle could take 2.9 seconds to go from 0 to 96 km / h and its towing capacity is more than 3.6 tonnes.
