Slate, a fledgling automaker, is gearing up to launch an affordable electric pickup that could reshape the market for budget‑friendly trucks. The company says its new model will undercut the price points of established EV pickups while delivering a practical range and payload capacity suited to everyday work and recreation. Slate plans to begin production later this year, targeting both fleet buyers and individual consumers who want a greener alternative without the premium price tag. Industry analysts are watching closely to see if the startup can meet its ambitious cost targets and compete with larger manufacturers entering the electric truck segment.
