TELO Trucks: Compact Electric Pickup Trucks for Urban Adventures and Eco-Friendly Travel


The truck iMO that will sweep market for average suburban truck buyer. 80% charge in 20 minutes possible. Cab fwd design like VW bus being there no engine and transaxle taking up space.


300 HP, size of mini clubman, same size bed as Toyota Tacoma, larger bed than maverick and Santa Cruz. 4 doors. 250 mile range 300 hp option to 350 mile range with option dual motor all wheel drive 500HP. Will haul 4 by 8 sheets plywood. The truck that maverick should been?

Taking orders now.

IMO this will be future size of vehicles, not the monstrous tanks most manufacturers are making now.

Might get the urban crowd that wants a faux truck. Not for rural folks that want a real truck that has good ground clearance, 4WD that can rip through deep snow, navigate off road trails, tow a good sized boat or landscape trailer, haul firewood, plow snow, have a forklift drop a pallet with a ton of pellets in the back, etc…. And the minimum bed size for a real truck is 6 feet, preferably larger.

It has good ground clearance. Don’t need to be jacked up 3 foot besides with climate change snow will be nearly non existent short or Arctic circles…
70% or more of truck market don’t need 3/4 ton or larger trucks.

That’s what we said about VW Bug in 50’s. Truck for the masses.

AKA, a truck for urbanites who don’t need a real truck. It’s not a truck, it a Shopping Mall runner.

Sounds good. But I fear it might not appeal to the primitives that are attracted loud noise and the smell of gas/diesel and are impressed by SIZE. Time will tell.

Well, I’m one of those primitives can’t beat sound of Hemi, coyote, or LS. Actually ford V8 flat head was best sound IMO with steel packed duel mufflers. But for everyday short trip light hauling I’m coming around. Noise makes my ear ring where they’re no ear crowd noise worse. Beside those day are fading fast.

Full disclosure. I was once one of the primitives, too. Loved drag (car) races. Very exciting. Also grew up around fishing fleet boats with big diesels. The sounds and smells evoke fond memories of my youthful life. But, now, I have "evolved" into a homo-oldusfogius" (old guy). Times have changed and, like all of us, the world need to move ahead. Much of what we dinosaurs loved are just impractical, wasteful, and unhealthy in today's more modern and crowded world.

Right in my dreams.

My 69 GTX wasn’t wasteful, brash maybe with 155 MPH top speed, it would go faster over red line, but tires worried me more in 1970. The 440 375 idling was music to my ears. But will Amit I got dusted by 69 340 swinger up to 115. Dodge still leads pack with hellcat, but who wants to drop 90K plus 14 MPH in cruse mod. WOT sucks gas like TF30 in zone 5.

My 2013 RAM 2500 4x4 diesel Cummins220 was no racer. But it could pull our trailer all day up an over mountains in cruise control at 1500 RPM and after doing it for years average 16 to 18 mpg. Quad cab with a covered 8 ft bed. (Just between us, I cried, quietly, when I sold "Big Blue".)

I had dodge pristine condition Dakota 4x4 I more less gave away with 39K miles for 7500 when I moved down here. Now that truck worth 20 grand or more.

Until a distribution and service network is developed they are at risk of not making it. My guess is they are hoping to be acquired.
