Slate, a newcomer in electric vehicles, aims to disrupt the market by offering a basic electric truck priced under $20,000 after federal rebates. Unlike conventional offerings, the Slate truck strips away non-essential features, targeting a cost-conscious consumer. CEO Chris Barman emphasizes a radical reevaluation of what makes a vehicle by eliminating extras like touchscreens, speakers, and automated driving features. Their approach focuses solely on essential functionality, making affordable electric cars a reality, a segment historically neglected in the automotive market.
In 2025, Slate's truck will be extraordinarily basic: no radio, no speakers, hand-crank windows, and a single color option—gray—making it a historic value in transportation.
Slate CEO Chris Barman said, 'We've challenged everything around making a vehicle, in making sure that we understood whether it should be part of the equation or not.'
Slate's ability to keep costs low hinges on its radical simplification approach: stripping away non-essential features to deliver an affordable electric vehicle.
The Slate Truck is designed with a mindset focused on only what is necessary for transportation, revealing an untapped segment of the EV market.
