Solar electric ute that will rival Cybertruck and Rivian wows LA crowds

Electric Utes – or electric pickups as they are known in the US – promise to be game-changers in the bid to electrify transport, given their popularity among tradespeople, or anyone with a reason to go off-road, tow a boat or simply get away for the weekend.

Vehicles like the Tesla Cybertruck, the Ford F-150, the Hummer EV and the Rivian R1T will offer features from two-way charging and power points, loads of storage space, independent four-wheel control and even armoured glass in the case of the Tesla.

Now a new player on the block has debuted at the LA auto show this weekend with hopes to stand out from the above ranks thanks to an innovative telescope-like solar canopy on the roof and tray.

The electric ute in question is the EF1-T from EdisonFuture, an EV start-up that is a subsidiary of California-based and Nasdaq-listed SPI Energy.

The EF1-T’s design accentuates the gap between the big auto legacy companies and the EV pioneers: while electric utes designed by legacy automakers Ford and GM are – let’s face it – electric versions of their combustion predecessors, the new players in the market are thinking about this in a different way.

The EF1-T at first glance appears somewhere cross-between the Cybertruck and the R1T – it has the long lines and low-angled windscreen of the former and the boxy but smooth dimensions and shape of the latter.
