I feel like Slate Auto's approach is genius, stripping away all the extra features so they can make their trucks more affordable. It's all about practicality for most people who want an electric vehicle, not some fancy bells and whistles 
. With Ford scaling back on EV production, it's clear that affordability will be key in 2026. And yeah, infrastructure development is a big deal - we need those public charging networks to make EVs more accessible to the masses 
. But at the end of the day, it's all about getting the hardware in the ground and making sure it keeps running smoothly
