Bezos-backed startup launches $30,000 electric pickup for budget-conscious buyers
Slate Auto, backed by Jeff Bezos, introduces an affordable electric pickup truck priced under $30,000, potentially dropping to $20,000 with federal tax credits. This stripped-down, two-seater model targets budget-conscious buyers, aiming to revolutionize the EV market with American-made, mass-produced electric trucks starting in 2026. Its success hinges on consumer acceptance of a minimalist design and the continuation of federal incentives.
