From the Silverado EV to Ford's F-150 Lightning to Rivian's R1T, there's at least a trifecta of impressive new electric trucks to know about.

When plugged into a commercial fast charging station, the truck accepts up to 350 kilowatts of juice. That charge rate can add up to 100 miles of range to the Silverado EV in only 10 minutes, according to the automaker. The battery pack’s stored energy can later be shared to regular household items via an onboard 10-outlet system capable of supplying up to 10.2kW of power. GM says that’s enough to power your home with the right equipment, or even charge another EV.

, speed demon. The Silverado EV is built to be a bit more of a conservative offering to appeal to normal pickup buyers, and that’s exactly what it will do.Ford was the first of Detroit’s big three to electrify a modern full-size pickup truck, and the resulting creation is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

When plugged in, the F-150 Lightning can accept a charge rate of up to 150kW. Commercial chargers that can supply this will be able to replenish about 54 miles of range in 10 minutes.

Just like Silverado and F-150 Lightning, the Rivian R1T offers buyers the option of two battery packs. Its standard-equipped “large” battery pack offers an EPA-rated 314 miles of range, whereas its huge “max” pack, which is delayed until 2023, offers more than 400 miles.
