The Slate Truck is an upcoming 2-door battery-electric compact pickup truck to be manufactured by Slate Auto. The model was revealed on April 24, 2025.[2]
Overview
The Slate Truck is an electric pickup truck made to be bare-bones and is designed to be customizable. The starting price is under $28,000, and was advertised as being under $20,000 after electric vehicle purchase incentives, which would have made it one of the cheapest EVs in the United States when sales commence in 2026.[3] After the One Big Beautiful Bill Act eliminated federal subsidies for EVs, Slate Auto stopped advertising that its truck would have a net price of under $20,000.[4]
Powertrain
The Slate Truck uses a single rear-mounted motor producing 201 hp and 195 lbft of torque.
