Slate EV Debuts Budget Truck and SUV with 205-Mile Range

Slate unveiled pricing for its electric Truck and SUV: starting at $24,950 (Truck) and $29,950 (SUV), with up to 205 miles of range from a 65 kWh battery; earlier promises of sub-$20k after incentives are no longer feasible. The Truck offers higher payload and towing than the SUV (1,550 lbs and 2,000 lbs), while both models emphasize repairability with no touchscreen and broad accessory support. Slate also allows upgrading the Truck to an SUV after purchase, includes a 10-year/110k-mile battery and powertrain warranty, and deliveries are expected in Q4 this year.

Are Chinese EVs Worth the Hype? A Reality Check

Are Chinese EVs Worth the Hype? A Reality Check

The Ars Technica piece argues that hype around Chinese EVs is overstated: cheap Chinese prices stem from government incentives and low wages, while real-world range often lags CLTC numbers; imported European prices can end up much higher once specs and taxes are included. There are legitimate worries about jobs, privacy, and national security, and the push for AI-heavy, touchscreen-filled interiors may not translate to safer or better driving. Overall, buyers should scrutinize actual range, total ownership costs, and regulatory barriers rather than rely on optimistic claims of “cheap, advanced” Chinese EVs.
