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.

BYD among others have it sewn up over there

Nobody smart in the world will be buying US electric vehicles

Not even yanks, but the lobbyists have kept most decent EV makers out, with the exception of the few Japanese and Korean vehicles available

Still got my fingers crossed that Slate's $27k price tag doesn't go way up. It's the perfect tiny pickup for me.

I've heard a lot about these Slate but how about these ones?

Anything that bucks the trend of "Way too big for its own good" is worthwhile.

Personally though, I'll be skipping over Telo due to it following the unfortunate trend of 'touchscreen everything'. Tactile feedback on all cabin controls is a hard requirement, I must be able to control the HVAC and radio without taking my eyes off the road.

Also I'm a tinkerer at heart, and Slate is definitely pandering to that.
