Canoo, The Innovative California Startup, Reveals Its Latest Electric Pickup: A Powerful Model With More Than 800 Km Of Range And 600 Horsepower, Still Awaiting Naming.
Canoo, an automotive technology startup from California that has been on Apple’s radar for a possible acquisition, recently announced a significant step in its journey. At the beginning of December last year, the company delivered the first model of its unnamed electric pickup to the U.S. Army. This vehicle, based on a prototype revealed in 2022, will be used for analysis and demonstration in tactical applications.
New Electric Pickup From Canoo Delivers 600 Horsepower
Featuring modular construction, the manufacturer claims that the electric pickup can perform various activities, including transporting heavy loads or using tactical systems, for example.
With all-wheel drive, the electric motor also provides significant power to Canoo’s pickup, as it delivers 600 horsepower. The pneumatic springs, elevated suspension, and 32’’ all-terrain tires help keep the vehicle higher off the ground and capable of traversing rough terrain.

In the end, the decision to start mass production of the electric pickup will rest with the U.S. government. According to The Verge, the company’s future may be at stake if the contract with the military is not approved. The partnership began in July, when an agreement was announced to produce a new electric or hybrid model for military use.
At the beginning of 2022, Canoo warned that it could face financial difficulties in the near future if it couldn’t secure more investments. Delayed payments and a lack of parts are also hindering the startup’s schedule. Founded in 2017, the company is not exactly new to the automotive sector, and the brand is also developing other electric vehicles, such as a delivery van and an electric truck.
Canoo’s Electric Pickup Delivers More Than 800 Km Of Range
Canoo’s electric pickup is not only a model that promises to revolutionize the industry, but it also changes the game by combining futuristic design with functionality. The electric pickup can provide a range of up to 805 km, featuring a bed extended up to 8 feet and a compact footprint. It is important to highlight that the electric pickup is eligible for a substantial federal tax credit according to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2023.
Thus, buyers of the 2024 model can benefit from up to US$ 7,500 in federal tax credits, making it a great incentive, since Canoo already offers competitive prices, ranging from R$ 35,000 to 50,000. Owning the electric pickup has become a hard opportunity to resist, but the electric truck is not just about saving money; it’s about providing an easily chargeable electric vehicle that delivers up to 805 km of range.
Canoo’s Prototypes Are Tested By NASA
It is worth noting that the company, in addition to its new electric pickup, is also working on another important project: a minivan chosen by NASA to transport astronauts to the launch pad for the Artemis mission.
The model has a pod-like shape and was developed to have zero carbon emissions. Only three units were built, which were completed in June 2023, when the first official tests were conducted.
However, three prototypes were presented by the company on social media at another time, showcasing a test that conducted NASA Exploration Ground Systems technicians dressed in astronaut suits on a 14 km route from the Neil Armstrong Operations Center to the launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
