This is some exciting battery charging tech! Why else would Exro be heavily involved in Slate's development and engineering.

US-Made Slate EVs Could Fast-Charge At Home With Genius Canadian Tech
Vancouver-based Exro’s Coil Driver inverter technology will feature on low-cost SUVs and trucks from Bezos-backed startup
Ditching the converter makes the EV lighter and also cheaper to build – a big priority when you’re targeting a $25k retail price. But it also allows for faster AC charging, giving the possibility of sucking in 19 kW, with up to 80 kW possible in the future, according to Driving.ca, which broke the story. That doesn’t just mean easier charging at home, but would make it much easier for the global charging network to expand, because it removes some of the need to build expensive DC charging stations.
Another plus point to Exro’s tech is its coil-switching system. This effectively creates multiple virtual power and torque profiles in one motor, each configured to best suit what the driver and vehicle needs at that moment. The result is more bottom end torque and more top end power than with a conventional motor, plus greater efficiency.

- Canada’s Exro will supply game-changing tech to EV startup Slate, Driving.ca reports.
- Exro’s equipment removes need for on-board charger, allows AC fast-charging at home.
- Slate is developing EV SUVs and trucks with $25k start price that should debut in late ’26.
