The cheapest Cybertruck now costs nearly $100,000. Here are 5 alternatives.

The Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck.

The electric version of America’s best-selling truck is the vehicle the Cybertruck gets compared to the most, and right now, it’s a more affordable option.

The cheapest electric F-150 starts at $62,995 and has a range of around 240 miles.

Drivers also have the option to include Ford’s Bluecruise driver assistance tech, its answer to Tesla’s Autopilot.

Chevy Silverado pickup.

After a long wait, Chevy’s first all-electric Silverado pickup hit the market this year.

Starting at $96,495, the Silverado has an estimated 440 miles of range and is — according to Chevy — capable of out-towing an F-150 Lightning.

Business Insider’s Nora Naughton got the chance to try one out earlier this year and found the EV fun to drive but a little bulky.

4. GMC electric Sierra

The 2024 Ram 1500 REV.

If you are prepared to wait before splashing out on an electric truck, the Ram 1500 REV could be your option.

RAM has finally joined the electric truck wars with its first EV, which is expected to begin selling in late 2024.

The standard version comes with 350 miles of range, but RAM says drivers will be able to buy a 1500 REV with a larger battery pack that will bump the pickup’s range up to 500 miles. RAM has not yet said how much the 1500 REV will cost.

The company plans to follow up the 1500 REV with an electric Ramcharger in 2025, with a range-extending gasoline generator.
