Fisker’s Alaska Electric Vehicle Pickup Comes Equipped with Unique Cup and Cowboy Hat Storage

Fisker has just introduced the Alaska electric pickup, which is priced at $45,400, making it one of the most affordable options available. The company has now provided additional information about the vehicle, such as battery capacities, acceleration capabilities, and estimated range. Moreover, the Alaska might be the ideal choice for aspiring ranchers due to its practical features like a large cupholder, an expandable bed, and even a designated space for a cowboy hat.

The Alaska comes with either a 75kWh or 113kWh battery, offering 230 or 340 miles. Horsepower or transmission are not mentioned, but they vary between model versions. Either way, it accelerates from zero to 60 MPH in just 3.9 seconds for the most powerful version or 7.2 seconds for the economy model. Fisker also claims that the Alaska will be the lightest electric car in the world – that’s a good thing, because some electric pickup trucks are very, very heavy.

Fisker is trying to entice buyers with the “world’s largest” oversized cup holder, which appears to hold at least a couple of liters of liquid, allowing for some serious livestock hydration. It also comes with “a cowboy hat holder, cockpit storage for work gloves, a large center armrest for flashlights and pens, and a passenger compartment with a tablet holder,” Fisker wrote.

As for the bed, there’s a “Houdini wall” behind the rear seats that can be raised or lowered electronically and protected by a flip-up panel. This allows the bed to expand from 4.5 feet to 7.5 feet, and with the tailgate down and rear seats down, you get up to 9.2 feet of space. It’s the same model used by the similar-looking Chevy Silverado, which expands to 5.9 and 10.8 feet. The gallery also has a large center screen, wood-colored upholstery and stitched leather-like seats, but no other interior details.

Alaska is slated to enter production in early 2025 (treat dates and prices with skepticism given the company’s past history of delays and price gouging). It will likely feature Tesla’s proprietary NACS charging connector, as Fisker just announced plans to switch to the Tesla connector in its North American vehicles — just as other manufacturers such as Ford, Mercedes and Volvo have done.
