Summary
EV startup Telo Trucks is hoping to tap into an untapped market of city dwellers who could use a cargo utility vehicle, but “they can’t have a big truck because it’s way too big for the city.” According to Telo CEO, it’s targeting gardeners, surfers, snowboarders, hikers, and so on. The company kicked off pre-orders for its first vehicle, charging folks $152 for the chance at a 152-inch truck that’s slated to cost $50,000 at launch before government incentives. Telo is now working towards getting its first prototype on the road by year’s end.
