A new automaker, Slate, is being watched to see if its approach will be successful. The company is focusing on building simple, affordable, and flexible electric vehicles. This strategy is different from many other automakers, which are continually adding more features to their vehicles.

Slate's ability to survive in the industry will depend on whether its simple approach resonates with consumers. Further details about Slate and its plans are available from TestMiles, which is following the company's progress. More information about Slate's first vehicle, including how it drives, is expected to be released later.
