Slate Auto electric pickup and cargo kit development

Overview

US startup Slate Auto is developing a minimalist, affordable electric pickup truck, with reported starting prices between $25,000 and $26,000. The vehicle is designed to utilize a single base configuration that can be expanded through reusable and convertible module kits to reduce manufacturing complexity.

To appeal to commercial fleets, retail customers, and tradespeople, the company is developing modular cargo kits starting at approximately $3,000. These include a standard SUV-style square enclosure and a taller ‘high-boy’ high-roof variant designed to transform the pickup into a small panel van. The vehicle is expected to offer a range of approximately 205 miles and support fast charging capabilities.
