EdisonFuture, a California-based startup, is launching an F-150-sized light-duty full-size electric truck powered by a range of battery and motor options that includes a 450-mile battery pack and a three-motor configuration good for a reported 700 combined horsepower, according to Motortrend.
This subsidiary of SPI Energy used to be aligned with another spinoff called Phoenix Motorcars. That group made a business of retrofitting Ford medium-duty trucks to electric power. However, the EF1-T pickup and its van counterpart, the EF1-V, are both engineered from scratch by Livermore, California-based EdisonFuture.
EdisonFuture plans to cover the market much like Chevrolet and Hummer EV, Motortrend says, with offerings ranging from rear-wheel-drive, single-motor to dual- and tri-motor all-wheel-drive setups. Likewise, there will be a choice of battery pack sizes available to suit various budgets and expectations.
The EF1-T Standard model with a single rear motor is rated to tow 7,500 pounds, the EF1-TP premium two-motor variant can do 9,000, and the top EF1-TS Super tri-motor range topper is good for 11,000 pounds. For the EF1-V van, rear-drive models can tow 7,500 pounds, two-motor AWD long-range models are rated for 8,000 pounds.
