We spent two days hands-on with the Slate, America’s $20K electric pickup that claims to be an answer to China’s cheap EVs. We got rare access to the lead engineers and designers behind Slate to uncover what makes this new American EV different—and if it’s worth your attention. Build quality, engineering choices, and the challenges of building an affordable electric truck in the U.S. and whether it can truly compete on cost while supporting American manufacturing. If you’re curious about affordable EV trucks, how EV start-ups are tackling cost challenges, or what it really takes to build a $20,000 EV in America, this is everything you need to know, as a bonus I’m visiting my other family in Detroit For sponsorship inquiries contact us here - [email protected] For other EV issues/questions - [email protected] My E-mail: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richiebkidd/ Mailbox: Rich Rebuilds P.O.
