A $20,000 electric truck with manual windows and no screens? Meet Slate Auto.

Slate Auto, led by Jeff Bezos, launched its innovative Slate Truck, a compact EV designed for affordability and performance with a claimed 150-mile range starting at under $20k, thanks to federal tax credits. The vehicle offers two battery options—57.2 kWh for 150 miles or 84.3 kWh for 240—and charges quickly, reaching 80% in just 30 minutes with up to 120 kW power. Customization includes body wraps but no paint options, while tech features like active emergency braking and multiple airbags ensure safety. The Slate Truck caters to those seeking a simple yet high-performance EV experience at an accessible price point.
