Slate $25,000 electric truck passes its first real-world drive review
InsideEVs published a first-drive review of the Slate electric truck starting at $25,000 after the federal EV tax credit. The reviewer found 210-mile EPA-estimated range adequate for the truck's stated use case, praised the minimal interior design, and noted the absence of a frunk. Order books opened the same week.
Why it mattersThe $25K price point has been an industry benchmark since 2020. Slate is the first vehicle to hit it in the US light-truck category, and a positive first-drive review matters for converting reservations to orders.
