Alpha’s New Wolf Electric Pickup Looks Like It Came Back From The Future

The fourth in the company’s growing range of vehicles, the Alpha Wolf is a small electric pickup truck that can handle more than just tiny jobs.

The design, while following the aesthetic details of the brand’s other electric models, also adds a touch of 1980s with its boxy shape and accessories, bringing to mind Marty McFly’s 1985 Toyota SR5 truck.

The little pickup is based on the same platform as the JAX, which you might remember being unveiled in February. Alpha says the Wolf can be equipped with a 75-85 kWh battery pack earning it an estimated 275 miles of range. Motors can either power the front or all wheels.

More to the point, though, despite being 23-inches (584 mm) shorter than a Ford Ranger at 188 inches (4,775mm) long, 76 inches (1,930 mm) wide and 66 inches (1676 mm) tall, Alpha is aiming for a pretty reasonable towing capacity of 3,000 lbs. It can also hit 60 mph from a standing start in just 6.2 seconds.

With just two seats, the pickup’s bed takes up most of its length and is 65-inches (1,651 mm) long by 59-inches (1,498 mm) wide and 16-inches (406 mm) deep. That won’t hold a 4×8 plywood sheet, but it will net you 34.5 cubic feet of storage in the bed’s truck. If you want some more secure storage, there’s a frunk, too.

Images show a large solar panel covering the bed of the truck. Although official details on this feature are frustratingly scant, we can presume that it will help charge the battery a bit while you’re trekking out away from the grid.

Inside, the Wolf looks a lot like Alpha’s other creations. The interior is uncluttered but modern and features a tablet-style infotainment screen and a digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Alpha promises lots of charging ports for your electronics as well as lots of storage for your belongings.

One of the most affordable electric trucks

Prices will start at just $36,000 running up to $46,000 before you even consider federal EV tax credits. That’s less than the JAX CUV, which is priced between $38,000-$48,000, but more than the standard Ace coupe, which starts at just $32,000. In any case, it’s one of the least expensive electric trucks in the North American market.

As with its other models, Alpha is accepting reservations on the Wolf, though exactly when deliveries are expected to start is a little less clear.
