- Slate announced the price of its no-frills electric pickup truck in June, but omitted the mandatory destination charge.
- A company spokesperson confirmed to InsideEVs that the freight charge will be $1,450, making the total price of the Slate $26,400 before you factor in your local sales tax.
- That makes it the cheapest EV and the cheapest truck in America. But will consumers go for a vehicle that comes with essentially no standard equipment?
It's been a slow drip with Slate pricing. First, it was supposed to be "under $20,000" with the tax credit. When the tax credit went away, we were told the price would be in the "mid twenties," but not exactly what. Then, when the company finally revealed the $24,950 starting price in late June, we didn't know what the destination charge would be. Since every vehicle in the U.S. has a mandatory destination charge in its price, that left us guessing what the final number would be.
