Slate Auto has disclosed capacity details for its upcoming low-cost electric truck, due to ship by late 2026. The base model starts at $24,950, undercutting rivals like the Chevy Bolt and Ford F-150, while still offering meaningful cargo space, though its towing capacity is limited to around 2,000 pounds.
Autonomy, the car subscription startup that once pledged to buy 23,000 EVs, is now adding internal combustion engine vehicles for the first time. The company will offer gas-powered Ford models like the Mustang, F-150 and Bronco Sport, sourced from Galpin Motors, starting in California with plans to expand through dealer partners in other states.
Slate Auto has introduced a compact two-door electric truck that strips away typical modern features, offering manual crank windows as standard and a small 65-kWh battery yielding roughly 205 miles of range. The base model costs under $25,000, far less than the average $50,000 new vehicle price in the US, though buyers can pay extra for upgrades like power windows, vinyl wraps, and a Bluetooth stereo.
