Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Making up prices, but:
Slate EV- 150 mi. / $25,000 = 6
Slate long range - 240 mi. / $30,000 = 8
That's not awesome
Yeah it's not looking too good at the moment. Telo is another EV startup and they're shooting for a 350mi model at $46k which would be 7.6.
Hoping battery tech advances or continues to get cheaper at scale. Ford is supposedly working on an affordable EV platform but still too early to tell.
Otherwise, a used EV might be the way to go.
I'm still really worried about whether Telo will last. Slate at least has better financial backing.
And yeah, I hope Ford makes an EV Ranger and hopefully Maverick on their new platform.
