The Isuzu D-Max EV pickup truck has been officially debuted by the brand after being previously showcased as a concept as a powerful yet efficient vehicle for the European market. The truck is slated to be the brand's first electric pickup and is currently being produced in Thailand, and is reported to deliver 190-horsepower with 240lb-ft of peak torque to easily handle a variety of tasks. The vehicle is rated by the WLTP standard in Europe to provide up to 163-miles of range per charge, which is increased to 224-miles when only driving in city conditions.
The Isuzu D-Max EV pickup truck is rated to be fully charged in 10-hours using an 11kW AC charger, while the use of a 50kW DC fast charger will get it from 20% to 80% in around an hour.
