About the Company

Slate Auto

Produces low-cost modular electric pickup trucks

Slate Auto designs and sells affordable, modular electric pickup trucks with a single base model that customers customize over time with removable accessories and upgrades. The core product, the Slate Truck, is a compact battery-powered pickup built around simplicity and low cost, with a base price targeted at $25,000–$28,000. The base model is intentionally stripped of features, allowing buyers to tailor the vehicle to work, personal use, or SUV conversions through modular add-ons. The company aims to simplify manufacturing, reduce upfront costs, and offer a “blank slate” vehicle that can evolve after purchase. Production is planned in the Midwest, with capacity up to 150,000 vehicles annually and first deliveries targeted for 2026. Slate Auto differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on cost reduction, a modular, customizable design, and a direct-to-consumer approach instead of competing on premium features or performance.
