The automotive sector frays cognizant as the Slate Truck EV enters 2027, hoping to become an alternative for affordable electric vehicles. This bare-bones pickup, produced by fledgling auto firm Slate, is expected to start at a price below $27,500 before federal tax credits, with a net price potentially dipping into the $20,000 range with stimulants. Slate was founded by former Amazon executive Jeff Wilke and is presently backed by $111 million. The company is following through with an extreme customization approach that, among various options, encourages buyers to turn their build-base pickup into an SUV. Although the planned delivery for the compact Slate Truck will be in late 2026, it seems set to reach a much-broader market for EVs with its innovative modularity and DIY accessory model.
