A lot has changed since Slate announced its first models in April 2025. For one, the promised starting price of around $20,000, after federal tax incentives, is no longer possible. The EV will now start at $24,950 for the Truck and $29,950 for the SUV, but Slate also made a few changes to the model since its introduction.
The EV will have a larger 65.0-kilowatt-hour lithium-iron-phosphate battery that offers up to 205 miles of range in the pickup, a jump from 150 miles with a 52.7-kWh pack. Horsepower from the single electric motor is down from 201 to 181, but torque remains unchanged at 195 pound-feet.
