The BYD ute will kick off with a plug-in hybrid system that pairs a 1.5-litre The Nikola Badger may have just got scratched off the list , but there’s still no shortage of electrified utes under development. In fact, we reckon there are almost 20 load-haulers either confirmed or said to be on the way to production. Let’s check out the list.
