EV Channels Review
This video from Maki Vlog explores the Slate EV's potential for fleet and business customers, highlighting its disruptive pricing and modular design. The reviewer emphasizes that the Slate EV is not just a consumer vehicle but a versatile platform that can be easily converted between pickup, SUV, and van configurations on the same chassis. This adaptability, combined with a target price point under $20,000 (before incentives), makes it an attractive option for businesses looking to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and ease into electrification. Key advantages discussed include significant cost savings compared to traditional gas trucks and other EV pickups, the ability to customize configurations without losing resale value, and reduced downtime due to simpler maintenance and quicker repairability. The lack of a traditional infotainment system is presented as a feature for fleet managers, offering a distraction-free environment and the flexibility to integrate custom solutions like mounted iPads. The reviewer notes the company's focus on learning from past EV startup failures and its commitment to customer feedback, as evidenced by the vehicle's modularity and the upcoming national road tour.
