    No one bought them.

    The article continues to state they will be selling a $30K small EV truck soon, designed to put SlateEV out of business.

    Kind of a shame - it seemed like a good car to drive. I don’t have a lot of basis for comparison on pickups though.

      From what I heard, it wasn't bad, but either wasn't as strong as the standard F-150 and couldn't go up steep inclines as quickly, or had far worse mileage than the F-150.

      I think the concept of trying to make an electric version of any gas car is fascinating, but Ford had a long way to go before the EV F-150 could be feasibly used to do some very F-150 things.

    By mileage, do you mean range?
