Slate Auto

Description:In this episode of Kilowatt, I explore the latest advancements in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and autonomous driving. We discuss significant news highlights, including the introduction of a revolutionary battery by CATL, which can add 323 miles of range in just five minutes of charging, alongside their upcoming sodium-ion batteries. I also cover a concerning class-action lawsuit against Tesla regarding alleged odometer manipulation, emphasizing its implications for the brand's reputation. The main focus is on Slate Auto's new electric pickup truck, featuring a modular design for customization and affordability, with a starting price of around $25,000. I discuss its unique features, production timeline for 2026, and the potential impact on the EV market. As I conclude, I encourage listeners to engage with the community and share their own projects, while I remain committed to covering crucial developments in the industry.Support the Show:PatreonAcast+Other Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteBart Busschots: Bart's BlogLet's Talk PodcastsNosillacast (Security Bits)True North EVs:True North EVs PodcastSources: Tesla Odometer LawsuitCATL's New Battery Tech 1Slate Auto 1Slate Auto 2*Show Art Created By Dall-e*ART PROVIDED BY DALL-eSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.
