I've been following Slate Auto's electric pickup, and it's impressive how they're focusing on affordability and customization. The truck uses a single rear mounted induction motor, which is great for durability and performance without rare earth magnets.
And the battery options are nice, 53 kWh for 150 miles and 84 kWh for 240 miles packs. It supports standard level 2 AC charging at home, likely around 7 kW and DC fast charging up to 120 kW for quick top ups on the go.
Cant wait for what is cooking really because production is planned for late 2026 in Indiana.
I'm really sat for this
 
Been following Slate Auto since I saw their concept at a local EV expo last year and I really love their retro design and modular approach. I'm curious how the single rear motor will handle towing or heavier loads.
 
Affordable EV pickup sounds great on paper, but let's be real, by 2026, big automakers will undercut Slate or crush it with better infrastructure. Small startups rarely survive once the giants move in
