R1T, the first electric pickup to hit the road, was the showpiece that launched Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN). But considering that theย R1S SUVย became the signature vehicle Rivian got known for, launching the worldโs first electric pickup wasnโt enough to launch Rivian among the EV stars. Even Ford Motor (NYSE:F) couldnโt repeat its F-150 best-selling success on the EV front. Not to mention the EV king, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), whoย successfully launched the Cybertruck after quite a bit of delays, only to face a new set of challenges. Even Tesla ended up short on the electric pickup front, with Cybertruck sales being pale compared to Model Y and Model 3. To sum it up, SUVs won against pickups in the EV race. For now.
Putting it simply, a larger EV means a less efficient EV. To move around, a heavier vehicle needs more energy and therefore, huge batteries. Rivian somewhat solved this equation with R1Tย that has the range option ofย 420 miles, but it requires a huge and expensive battery pack. Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) is claiming its all-electric Ram 1500 REV pickup will outperform its competitors with range, towing, payload, and charging times.ย Scheduled to arrive to dealerships early next year, this will be Ramโs first electric pickup.ย 2025 1500 REVย will come with two battery options, resulting in targeted ranges ofย 350-miles and up to 500 miles.ย This means Stellantis will leave behind not only Rivian, but also the pickup king, Ford and its 2024 Lightning, whose extended range of 320 miles, and the EV king, Tesla, whose Cybetruck has en estimated driving range of 340 miles. However, itโs no secret that Stellantis is also struggling, both in North America and in Europe, with Chinese EV makers setting up shop as they continue to expand their global footprint. But, despite challenges and weak results for the first half of the year, including a profit dive of 48%, Stellantis is not giving up. Earlier this month, it revealed its plans to invest $406 million to retool three Michigan plants for EV production. But also, it is slowing down as a week ago, it decided to pause the production of electric Fiat 500 model for four weeks, with the plant in Turin will undergo a significant transformation, involving an investment of โฌ100 million, being equipped for developing a hybrid version of the model. Therefore, Stellantis is yet to fulfill its electric pickup promise.ย
The Good News Is That All Electric Pickups Just Got Some Solar Power
Meanwhile, Worksport Ltd (NASDAQ:WKSP), an innovative maker of hybrid and clean energy solutions for light trucks and global consumer goods, just initiated the Alpha Launch of its solar-power duo that pickups can greatly benefit from. Its off-grid power on the go duo consists of SOLIS solar-powered tonneau cover and COR mobile battery power generator. Worksport is planning to bring this innovative system to market in three phases, beginning with the Alpha release, followed by the Beta release and ultimately, a full-scale market launch. The initial Alpha release of its cutting-edge nano-grid system has officially been initiated, with Worksport announcing that approximately 100 systems have been set for rigorous testing and public exposure.ย Worksport already revealed that the SOLIS will be available for major truck brands including Ford, General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) and the Hyundai Motor Company (OTC:HYMTF). In addition, Worksport revealed earlier this month successful lab test results of the portable COR battery system as a range extender for Tesla, namely its Model 3 and Cybertruck.
Therefore, the above examples show that as technologies improve and economies of scale emerge, electric pickups will be in a much more favorable position in the future.

Personally, I think Solis/Cor could be a priceless item if you run out of battery and need to get to a road while camping. You could charge up for a few hours and get out to a road. Additionally, batteries in electric trucks are still somewhat pathetic and need every bit of juice they can get. This device would help with daily driving, camping, outdoor work, surivival, pregame parties etc. Solis and Cor will sell if they get it built and in production.

Worksport ($WKSP) Announces Record High Revenues;
275% Q2 Growth
Q2 Earnings Call Available: Management Discusses Revenue Growth and Future Outlook
West Seneca, New York, August 14th, 2024 โ Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) ("Worksport" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, at market close yesterday reported the financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year (Q2 FY 2024) ended June 30, 2024.
Financial Results
Worksport continues its remarkable early growth story and reports an 860% revenue increase in Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023, with 275% growth from Q1 2024, reaching a new record of $1.92 million. This surge is directly attributed to the new Buffalo factory and the launch of dealer and e-commerce marketing initiatives. Worksport believes that while revenue is still in its early stages, the growth rate in recent quarters is highly encouraging. The Company has gained strong sales traction through its rapidly expanding channels, and with the introduction of innovative, higher-margin products on the horizon, Worksport expects this momentum to continue, driving further rapid revenue growth in the upcoming quarters.
By the end of Q2, Worksport's Monthly Reoccurring Revenue (MRR) was on track to hit $1milllion per month. The Company believes the MRR will continue to grow in 2024 with the ongoing ramp up of the Al3 line and introduction of the premium Al4 product line in Q4.
"Notably, Q2 sales surpass the entire 2023 year-end revenue of $1.5 million, states Mike Johnston, Company CFO. "Gross profit margins in Q2 2024 reached 15.4%, an 111% improvement from Q1. Early 2024 production efficiency was below baseline due to efforts in enhancing production processes and product improvements. However, Worksport anticipates improved baseline efficiency in the latter half of the year, which is expected to boost future margins. Additionally, cost savings from our scaling efforts and the introduction of premium products are projected to further enhance margins into FY 2025"
