Load it full of gear and it drops to around 100, I’d bet. That’s fine if you have a fleet of them, and you’re delivering in a city. But, no one is making a usable campervan out one of these.
You could attach a tent to extend the back. The whole point of this design is the CAD files are open for anyone to make third party addons. Slate encourages this.
Pretty interesting. I’d like to know the dimensions and how much it hurts the range.
I’m definitely curious about the range hit. Starting at 200 miles and raising the roof can’t be great.
After seeing tons of ID Buzz cargo vans in use in Europe, though, I think it could still thrive as a fleet truck in cities.
EVs do very well with stop/start driving, opposite of ICE. So whatever effect of aero is likely balanced with lack of highway travel.
A small delivery truck is a huge gap in the NA market.

Especially since the bed is 5 feet long.

that pop-up mockup is great.
was unaware they had CAD models open to the public. How did you get them? I don’t see them published on their site.

They were on their website but they were removed.
