    Why are folks comparing an ICE/Hybrid to a BEV?

    Why are folks comparing an ICE/Hybrid to a BEV?

    I own a maverick hybrid and love it, but I put my deposit down on a slate day 2. I love the mileage on the mav and it is great value for the price, but it only has one advantage over ev to me, and that's the ability to drive 400 miles on the interstate at 77 mph, or 600 miles in town. Other...

    My Slate Truck Reservation Pre-Order is in! Who else?

    So in. I've been telling people for years this is what I want. Perfect for a retired old fogie living in the suburbs. Had to settle for a Hybrid Maverick, (which I really like). Hoping it holds it's value to pay for a slate. Should be close, I don't put a lot of miles on it.

    New Slate configurations (with caps / toppers) spotted in Los Angeles
