As Ford Authority reported yesterday, an upstart company called Slate Auto has been quietly developing a two-seat EV pickup since 2022, one that’s expected to debut with a $25,000 price tag and enter production next year. This particular project isn’t just another fly-by-night company that seems likely to fizzle out in a few years, either – rather, Slate Auto has the backing of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and several other wealthy folks, along with hundreds of employees that came from other automakers – including Ford. Now, this future Ford Ranger EV rival has been spotted for the very first time.

Like concept, size, and price target; all assuming they can make it work.  Reminds me of my “affordable” 90s Ranger.

 

“The project is notably using the Ford Model T and Volkswagen Beetle as its “North Star,” to boot.“

This looks much smaller than even the maverick. Design is a bit odd too. As a single cab truck, the Alpha Wolf looks much better and more usable. Maybe this is geared towards fleets?
