Electric vehicles were supposed to make cars more affordable. So why does the average EV now cost well over $50,000?

Enter Slate Auto, a brand-new American startup that's taking a completely different approach. Their first vehicle is a bare-bones, highly customizable electric pickup that starts at just $24,950. No giant touchscreen. No built-in stereo. Even crank windows are back.

But is Slate Auto really the future of affordable transportation...or just another EV startup that's destined to end up like Fisker?

In this episode, The Car Chick® breaks down everything you need to know about Slate Auto, how its unique "Blank Slate" concept works, and—most importantly—the tough questions every potential buyer should be asking before putting down a deposit.

In this episode:

• Why new cars and EVs have become so expensive
• The story behind Slate Auto and its founders
• How the Blank Slate platform works
• Service, maintenance, and Right to Repair
• Warranty coverage
• Could Slate become the next Fisker...or the next success story?

Whether you're excited about affordable EVs or just curious what all the buzz is about, this episode goes beyond the marketing hype to answer the questions nobody else seems to be asking.
