How does it compare?
Canoo Pickup Truck is like an ace competing with other powerhouses in the EV arena such as the Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevrolet Silverado EV, and Lordstown Endurance. Each brings something unique to the deck.
Range
The Canoo Pickup boasts an estimated range of 200 miles (322 km), which feels adequate until you park it next to the Rivian R1T and its whopping 314 miles (505 km). The Ford F-150 Lightning trots in at around 300 miles (483 km), while the Silverado EV, just a nimbly charging horse, covers around 400 miles (644 km), and the Lordstown Endurance strides in with an estimated range of 250 miles (402 km). Clearly, in the range stakes, the Canoo Pickup Truck swings the shorter cudgel.
Acceleration and Power
Muscle is what the Canoo brings—a respectable 600 horsepower under its belt. Sitting on par horsepower-wise with the Lordstown Endurance but dwarfed by the behemoth Rivian R1Ts 750 hp and the Silverados prime 664 hp sprinting capability. The F-150 Lightning too, with its 563 hp, strikes a healthy intermediate balance. Marveling at the gut-wrenching 0-60 mph in roughly 3 seconds from the R1T often leaves the Canoo’s 4.5 seconds in the dust.
Charging Time
Charging speed is a race against patience. The Canoo Pickup recharges quickly with its Level 2 setup in about 7 hours. Fair enough, but look at the R1T, which, when plugged into a fast charger, reduces your wait to around 40 minutes for an 80% charge. The F-150 Lightning doesn’t lag far behind, with a 41-minute stint to get you back on the road. The Silverado EV offers a near 100 miles of charge in 10 minutes on a DC fast charge, while the Lordstown too, manages a snappy recharging time of roughly 1 hour to hit 80% on a DC charger.
Load Capacity
The Canoo Pickup is a trooper in the load-bearing face-off, effortlessly hauling around 2000 lbs (907 kg). The R1T struts proudly with a load capacity flirting with the 1760 lbs (800 kg) range. The F-150 Lightning serenades with about 2000 lbs (907 kg), while the Silverado emerges as a titan with a 1300 lbs (589 kg) payload. The Endurance, while sturdy, stands midway, boasting a payload capacity of 1200 lbs (544 kg).
Price
Now, onto the delightful dance of dollars. The Canoo Pickup Truck shimmies its way to your driveway at approximately $35,000 (£27,000 / €32,000), making it an enticing prospect. The Rivian R1T, with its higher spec melee, rounds out near $67,500 (£52,300 / €61,300). Ford’s iconic F-150 Lightning offers its brawn for $40,000 (£31,000 / €36,300). The Silverado EV, reflecting its bowtie prestige, tips the scale at about $39,900 (£30,900 / €36,000) while the Lordstown Endurance hovers around $52,500 (£40,600 / €47,700). A reminder that each penny saved sets you closer to driving that Canoo wonder.
