Electric trucks are becoming more common, as we’ve seen an increase from the two or three models that were available a year ago. But they’re still not cheap, and still all pretty large. So what do you do if you want an electric truck that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg? Well, the Telo MT1 might be for you.
To be clear, the MT1 certainly won’t be for everyone. Its look is … unique, and it’s not as powerful as some of its more expensive competition. But, there is a benefit to the new truck — it will apparently start at only $41,000.
Telo itself is actually a Silicon Valley startup — and it announced its truck earlier this year. At the time, the goal was to build something the size of a Mini, but with the bed size of a Hummer. Since then, it has built a configurator for the vehicle, revealing its ultra-low starting price. Not only that, but it’s now collecting pre-orders, at $152 each.
The truck itself will be 152 inches long, which is pretty small — and indeed around the length of a Mini. To hit that smaller size, it’s likely that interior space will be a little limited.
We don’t yet know much about the interior design and software experience on offer from the truck, but we’ll likely find out at some point in the next year.
