Slate changed its EV pickup battery from NMC to cheaper LFP cells, raising the standard range from 150 to 205 miles and eliminating the optional 240-mile pack. The $24,950 starting price reflects the shift, enabled by the end of EV tax credits that previously disqualified LFP batteries.
Slate opened pre-orders for its modular electric pickup at $24,950 before fees. The base model lacks power windows and a key fob. A new 63-kWh LFP battery delivers 205 miles of range. A $300 non-refundable deposit secures a delivery window.
