# Slate pricing to be revealed in June, ‘Blank Slate’ truck still expected in the mid-$20k range

> Slate Auto, an EV startup, will reveal pricing for its "Blank Slate" electric pickup in June. The model is expected to be one of the most affordable EVs, with initial targets below $20,000, although recent changes in federal incentives may affect this. The truck features a customizable design, allowing upgrades through the Slate "Maker" or personal 3D printing.

EV newcomer Slate Auto just shared an interesting new video on its social media, setting the stage to reveal pricing of its flagship “Blank Slate” electric pickup in June. From what the American startup is saying, it sounds like the bare-bones model will still be one of the most affordable EVs on the market.

If you don’t know already, Slate Auto is an American EV startup that is rewriting the rulebook on how to design, develop, scale (and promote) an all-electric truck. That strategy revolves aroundthe startup’s “Blank Slate” design, starting with a bare bones pickup that is about as basic you can get in a passenger vehicle, but with the ability to fully customize and upgrade your build how you like, whether that’s through the Slate “Maker” on the company website, or at home with your own 3D printer.

When Slate emerged from stealth in 2025, we initially learned that this flagship model was targeting pricing below $20,000 after US tax incentives. Since then, however, the current administration has eliminated most of those federal incentives, leaving us wondering where the Slate truck’s pricing would land.

We are not alone; plenty of others online asked the same question about a pricing update, and Slate has answered… sort of. We now have a better idea of where the MSRP of the flagship EV will sit, and when we can expect to confirm that number.
