He spent over 15 years in IT support before joining The Verge.Isuzu has started mass production of an all-electric version of its midsized D-Max pickup truck in Thailand, featuring a dual-motor four-wheel-drive system with 140kW of power that can “match the performance of existing diesel models,” according to the automaker.As reported by Electrek, the new D-Max EV matches the towing capacity of Isuzu’s current diesel powered D-Max at 7,716 pounds (3,500kg) with just slightly less payload capability at about 2,226 pounds (1,010kg) compared to 1,200kg, likely due to the 66.9kWh battery it carries. The D-Max EV has a range of up to 163 miles (263km) per full charge based on Europe’s WLTP standard, with a higher 224-mile range if driven in city mode.RelatedSlate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreenSlate Auto confirms where it’ll build its $20,000 TruckPreviousNext1/5Image: IsuzuOther than the electric power, the D-Max EV is built in the image of its diesel counterpart. The D-Max EV is about 207 inches long, which is nearly the same as Europe’s bestselling pickup, the Ford Ranger (210 inches). Isuzu’s new truck will compete against the Ranger when it arrives in left-hand drive European countries in the third quarter of this year. A right-hand drive version is planned for the UK in February 2026.Isuzu has yet to announce prices for the truck, but the diesel model currently sells for about $41,600. Isuzu plans to bring the truck to other countries “based on market needs,” but does not say if it will come to the US.See More: CarsElectric CarsNewsTranspoMost PopularMost PopularDuolingo will replace contract workers with AINew Starlink subscription drops hardware price to $0Amazon has no choice but to display tariffs on prices nowThe DJI Phantom is no moreThe $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreenInstallerA weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.
