  1. Smartphone orientation?

    I'm interested in three types of dash mounts: vertical phone, horizontal tablet (iPad), and a mount that will accept a RAM ball adapter (e.g. kayak-type gear track rail). The reason for the RAM ball is for use of a Garmin GPS for travel in areas of poor cellular coverage. I'd hate to have to...

  3. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    Here's another Level 2 EV charger related question. Since the Slate Trucks NMC batteries will last longer if not charged to 100% routinely, how is the charging limit going to be set? From what I can tell, the limit will have to be set using the Slate Truck app, not by a 3rd party Level 2...

  4. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    Thanks for the rebate reminder - I did see it earlier and checked that. Our PUD's Level 2 charger rebate is pretty small ($20).

  5. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    I see that the federal (30%) tax credit for EV charging equipment and installation is set to expire on June 30th 2026. I already have a dedicated 50A NEMA 14-50R for EV charging in the garage that should work fine with the Slate included charging cord. However, the Slate website says: "Many EV...

  6. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I love this list, but think it needs at least one more item: 8. Slate-backed auto insurance. Otherwise, the cost of ownership could tip in favor of the other established auto brands as they scramble to enter the small pickup market. And low cost of ownership is key to Slate's reservation...

  7. Article: Slate can still undercut Ford's $30,000 EV pickup. Here's how

    IMO the wild card is how long it will take Slate to become profitable vs. the competition. Two data points (AI quality): Tesla achieved its first profitable quarter in 2013, a decade after its founding. Ford is currently losing money on each F-150 Lightning it sells. Just because Slate may...

  8. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    I chatted with Slate recently and asked about the on-board level 2 charging current draw; was told that they are still testing, but expect it to be about 30A at 240V. Granted, not as fast as you mention, but likely okay for me.

  9. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    Note that the Slate Truck comes with the cord and capability to use a 120V wall outlet for Level 1 charging or a 240V outlet for Level 2 charging (see link): Slate Charging So it seems that installing a 240V charging outlet if you don't already have one is all that you would need. I'm...
