Fisker has released additional details about the new Alaska, an all-electric pickup truck touted as the "world's most sustainable pickup truck."
Revealed earlier this month, the Alaska will arrive with two battery packs, 75 kWh and 113 kWh. Fisker promises a range of up to 340 miles, although lesser models will make do with a 230-mile range between charges. Based on the Ocean's impressive range figures, we have no doubt the automaker will achieve the numbers mentioned above.
As for performance, Fisker claims the 0 to 60 mph sprint time will vary between 3.9 and 7.2 seconds, depending on the chosen configuration. 3.9 seconds is relatively quick, although not as rapid as the acceleration provided by top-spec Rivian models or even the heavy GMC Hummer EV.
With several electric trucks on the horizon, this segment will get crowded in the coming months. But Fisker promises that the Alaska will stand out from the crowd thanks to all sorts of clever innovations.
A 'Houdini partition' allow the bed to expand from 4.5 to 7.5 ft, as the rear seats can be lowered into a designated space created by the platform's clever battery layout.
The Alaska is 17.4 feet (208.8 inches) long, shorter than most of its rivals, including the Rivian R1T. But thanks to the Houdini partition, it can provide comparable bed space. Fisker aims to make the Alaska the world's lightest electric pickup truck, an announcement that should please several safety bodies in the industry.
What else can prospective customers look forward to? The interior will come equipped with some quirky and practical features, including a big gulp cupholder, a cowboy hat holder, a passenger tray with a tablet holder, and storage for things like flashlights, pens, and work gloves.
Based on the new images, the Alaska will be quite the beauty, thanks to its concept car styling, chunky design, and lovely details. Customers will be offered wheels in 20- and 22-inch configurations.
"Alaska breaks with convention," said company CEO Henrik Fisker. "It doesn't fit into any current segment, as it combines features of a mid-size pickup with the capabilities of a full-size thanks to its innovation expandable bed design."
The Alaska will be produced in the United States with an expected price tag of $45,400 - cheaper than just about any battery-powered truck on the market. If you're interested, Fisker is already accepting $250 customer reservations. Production is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2025.
With the Tesla Cybertruck finally on the way and GM planning to launch two new electric pickups this year, eco-conscious truck fans have plenty to look forward to in the coming months.
