The electric pickup truck craze is just beginning. To succeed in the electric niche, General Motors will need a Silverado EV in top form to convince the usual buyers of this type of vehicle. At this New York show, the truck was a centre of attention even if it wasn't getting a turn under a big spotlight.

The absence of several brands at this edition of the New York show - and the very format of electric vehicles - allowed a few manufacturers to organize very short test drives right inside the convention center. While it's clear that the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the new F-150 Lightning pickup will be sought after by consumers, the presence of this 1978 F-100 pickup - or Eluminator as the folks at Ford like to call it - fully restored and now powered by an electric powertrain is sure to impress sentimentalists.
