- US EV startup Fisker unveiled an electric pickup to take on the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T.
- Fisker says the Alaska will start at $37,900 after incentives and go on sale in early 2025.
- It offers an ingenious bed that extends from 4.5 feet to 9.2 feet.
EV startup Fisker wants to snag a chunk of America’s pickup market from giants like Ford and GM.
The company on Thursday laid out plans for its next batch of products, including a very cool truck called the Alaska. Fisker didn’t mention too many details, but we now know a few things about the upcoming truck.
“I think it’s very important for us to say that we want to create unique vehicles,” company CEO and designer Henrik Fisker said during the event.

Fisker says it’ll start at $45,400, or $37,900 after a $7,500 federal tax credit. That should make it one of the most affordable electric trucks in the US when it goes on sale sometime in early 2025.
The F-150 Lightning (a bigger truck, but still) was supposed to start at just under $40,000, but rising materials costs have pushed the entry-level model to $51,990. The Rivian R1T, a bigger, higher-end offering than the Alaska, costs $73,000 and up.

That makes the Alaska look like a mighty compelling deal, if Fisker can keep the price where it is. There’s also currently nothing like it. All the electric pickups out right now — the Lightning, GMC Hummer EV, and R1T — are fairly large. The soon-to-be-released Tesla Cybertruck looks like a pretty big boy too.
