Overview

• Slate Auto has unveiled the Slate Truck, an electric pickup starting at $25,000, or under $20,000 after federal tax credits, with reservations now open for a $50 refundable deposit.
• The truck features a minimalist design, offering a 150-mile range from a 52.7 kWh battery, upgradable to 240 miles with an 84.3 kWh pack.
• Built around a modular concept, the Slate Truck allows owners to customize and upgrade features like body panels, accessories, and even convert it into a five-seat SUV over time.
• The company chose U.S.-made NMC batteries to comply with federal tax-credit sourcing requirements and achieve higher energy density compared to LFP alternatives.
• Production is scheduled to begin in a reindustrialized Midwestern facility, with customer deliveries expected by the end of 2026.
