Fisker Alaska Hits the Market: An Electric Pickup That Redefines Standards in Design, Range, and Sustainability

The pickup truck world is on the rise. With the public increasingly interested in this category, automakers are racing to launch models that cater to various tastes and needs. And in this scenario, electrification cannot be left out.

If you haven’t heard of the Fisker Alaska, get ready. Launched last month in the United States, this pickup is already making history. Built on the groundbreaking FM 31 platform, the Alaska is not just another pretty face in the market: it is the lightest and most sustainable electric pickup in the world.

The Fisker spared no effort when it comes to performance. Equipped with a dual electric motor, the Alaska impresses with its 550 horsepower. But what really catches attention is its range. With battery options of 75 kWh or 113 kWh, the model can achieve an impressive 547 km on a single charge.

It’s not just in performance that the Alaska stands out. The pickup also offers a complete safety package, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a full range of alerts and sensors.

Here comes the masterstroke: to enter the pre-order queue, you only need to shell out $50. The final price of the pickup is $45,000, about R$225,000 at the current conversion rate, excluding taxes. A price that places the Alaska in an extremely competitive position.

The Fisker Alaska is more than just a new option in the electric pickup market. It is a demonstration of where this industry is heading, setting new standards in design, range, and sustainability. It is the pickup of the future, available today.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Adriano, known as Bó, who lived in Japan for 15 years, returned to the countryside of Minas and transformed a site surrounded by waterfalls and simple traditions into a true rural paradise in the Serra da Canastra.

Chile inaugurates the first electric highway for the trucks that drive its economy, installs high-power chargers over 400 km, and aims to reduce diesel dependency in a logistical shift to Puerto Montt by 2030.

Thousands of recycled glass bottles are transformed into foam insulating blocks, replace heavy gravel in construction, protect foundations, and reduce construction costs.

While factories discard millions of pounds of old paper without reuse, a technology using enzymes creates finishing panels without toxic resin, attracting the attention of the sustainable construction sector.

Considered the smallest beach in the world at just 40 meters, Gulpiyuri Beach has waves, tides, and saltwater that reach the site through natural caves connected to the Cantabrian Sea.

New Brazilian Fiat Fastback with a hybrid flex engine of up to 180 hp and a range of over 1,000 km will give rise to the new “affordable” Chrysler SUV in the US, in a project aiming to increase the brand’s sales to 225,000 cars by 2030.

Honda’s pickup the size of the Ram Rampage will feature a new hybrid V6 engine, a new generation with a refreshed design, more power, and improved acceleration after a production pause until 2028 to compete with the Toyota Tacoma, the leader with 274,000 annual sales.

Jetour accelerates in Brazil, surpasses 1,000 cars sold in just 3 months, and bets on plug-in hybrid SUVs to enter the competition strongly against BYD and GWM.

Chinese technology enables a car to steer, brake, and change lanes by itself in cities, but still requires full human attention.
