Why Electric pickup trucks? Why now?
All the positives. None of the setbacks.
You count on your truck for the long hauls and the short excursions. It takes you down quiet roads that lead to new adventures. It carries the family on weekend road trips, gives your dog a thrill ride, and keeps your family safe. It serves as the airport pick-up, the grocery delivery truck, the work truck. The truck is ultra-reliable and ridiculously practical.We want to preserve these experiences. Atlis XT electric pickup truck can handle the needs of today—and deliver more. No burden of fluctuating gas prices. No hassle of long charge times. No worries about your range.
No compromises

The XP platform will start off by underpinning the Atlis XT electric pickup truck, but will soon serve even other products in the line-up. It is still a work-in-progress.
The start-up is planning to price it very competitively with a starting price of $45,000 with a base range of 300 miles and an optional range of 500 miles. The ultra-fast charging, however, would be standard. Presently, the company is trying to raise $1 million through crowdfunding in order to build the first prototype of the truckIf in case Atlis is not able to live up to its claim of ultra-fast charging, where does it leave them and the investors? Nevertheless, the idea is good, and we can only hope for things to move ‘ultra-fast’ in this segment.
New Electric Pickup Truck from Atlis Motor Vehicles Will Take a Full Charge in 13 Minutes
If this becomes a reality, the competition will be in serious trouble
by Sidd Dhimaan, on
Atlis Motor Vehicles, an Arizona-based electric vehicle startup, has built a prototype battery pack that can be charged from 0 to 100-percent in 12 minutes, 35 seconds. Atlis believes that this prototype is scalable for its upcoming electric pickup truck. However, it must be noted that the prototype was only a 3 kWh pack.
The CEO Seems Very Confident
Atlis said that they are achieving that with regular Li-ion batteries with some novel cooling technology that they developed.
Atlis Motor Vehicles’ CEO, Mark Hanchett, said, “We have completed preliminary testing of our prototype battery pack with fast charging capabilities, and we’re proud to announce that we did better than expected. We beat our charge time by 2 minutes and 25 seconds by charging a 3 kWh pack to full in 12 minutes 35 seconds. This was the key to proving our technology – recharge times for batteries is still one of the largest obstacles to wider adoption of electric vehicles . . . _______________________________________________________________

The future of electrics is the pickup truck ...mass market electrics need to manufacture what consumers are buying. . .
> Current lithium-ion batteries could power an electric pickup
> It would go 200 to 250 miles on a charge and cost about $50,000.
> The main challenge is the payload because pickup truck owners often want to carry stuff weighing 1,000 pounds — or even a ton.
> To get further range and a lower sticker price, the drag coefficient will have to be improved and the cost of the battery brought down,

A 3 kWh battery pack sounds irrelevant for a large all-electric pickup truck charging test, but Atlis Motor Vehicles says that it is fully scalable, “The battery pack is part of Atlis’ prototype design and is capable of scaling in size to meet their customer’s performance needs. The capacity of the test pack had to be kept low to ensure enough power was available from the Level 3 DC charging station. Next steps for the prototype pack is to integrate this design concept into Atlis Motor Vehicles’ XP platform currently in development.” ________________________________________________________________________
