The future of autos is going to be electric. However, the question of range, sustainability and reliability remain when it comes to EV. This is where the Atlis XT pickup truck comes in. The electric Atlis pickup truck known as the Atlis XT prototype pickup is expected to go up to 805 km (500 miles) and the battery is expected to charge in just 15 minutes. According to Atlis Motors CEO, Mark Hanchett, the idea behind the quick charging time was that the pickup truck should be able to charge as fast as a pump takes to fuel a regular vehicle.
Atlis Pickup Truck: Features of the Atlis XT Prototype
Following are some prominent features of the electric Atlis pickup truck.
XP Platform
Atlis XT pickup truck is designed on the XP platform also known as “skateboard” or the next generation platform. The XP is the base for the XT pickup truck – it is also a stand-alone modular electric chassis product for vehicle builders in search of a medium to heavy-duty electric platform.
This is a modular plug-and-play solution designed to cater to the needs of dump trucks, box trucks, delivery vehicles, cranes, emergency response vehicles and any other vehicle with a heavy-duty configuration.
The minimum wheelbase for XT is 144 inches, and the Atlis pickup truck is available with single or dual rear wheels. The XT platform will support a plethora of vehicles in the future. The 805 km or 500-mile range XP platform is going to offer RV manufacturers, up-fitter vehicle manufacturers and other heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers a chassis that will exceed their workload expectations.
To put it simply, the XP platform technology will enable aftermarket vehicle partners to help make anything electric.
Fast Charging
Atlis is developing futuristic battery technology for the automotive industry. The Atlis XT pickup truck is all-wheel-drive with four independent traction motors, which means each wheel of the pickup truck has a motor.
The prototype was prepared with AMV cells and packs that can power 300, 400, and 500-mile (483, 644, and 805 km) range batteries.
Atlis motors claim a 1-million-mile life span on its 250-kWh battery and claim the battery can be charged fully (from 0 to 100 percent charge) in just 15 minutes using its own 1.5 MW charger port. Moreover, it also consists of a conventional CCS 2.0 charging capability.
Storage Capacity
The Atlis XT pickup truck’s front-trunk storage areas are extremely spacious. The XT has a large front truck with 18.5 cubic feet of storage – this is the largest for any EV in the market as far as space is concerned.
Durable Interior
The all-new electric Atlis pickup truck introduced a new dashboard design for the interior. The interior is designed for comfort paired with the latest technology to make things convenient.
For better visibility, the side mirrors of the EV truck have been replaced by displays mounted around the steering wheel. Furthermore, an instrument cluster is attached to the steering column.
The user interface consists of a 12.8-inch central touch display with vehicle functions for the driver and passengers. The keys in the centralized display and on the steering wheel are easy to use. The centre display comes with car play and android auto.
All the materials used on the seat and dashboard are resistant to stain, scratch, and rip.
Multi-Purpose Pickup Truck
The Atlis pickup truck is great for fleet workers, fleet owners, constructors and tradespeople. Most of these people need the ability to change the truck’s configurations. The Atlis XT offers considerable configuration options. The truck has a service body (open truck body) and flatbed options (totally flat body), alike.
That is all about the electric Atlis pickup truck. The Atlis XT pickup truck is expected in late 2022. Meanwhile, if you are in search of pickup trucks or other heavy-duty cars, take a look at these used heavy vehicles for sale in the UAE.
