Slate Confirms Tesla Supercharging and National Service Network
Emerging EV startup Slate just dropped two major updates—and they’re both game-changers. First, the company confirmed that its upcoming vehicles will use the NACS connector, giving owners access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. Second, Slate announced a unique national service strategy powered by RepairPal, giving drivers more freedom than ever before.
Tesla Supercharger Access? Yes, Please
Slate’s flagship model, a minimalist all-electric pickup, will ship with NACS (North American Charging Standard), just like Tesla vehicles. That means access to thousands of Tesla Superchargers across the U.S., making road trips a breeze.
This gives Slate owners one of the most reliable and fastest charging experiences available today, eliminating the typical anxiety that comes with long-distance EV travel.
This move aligns Slate with nearly every major EV brand that’s recently joined the NACS movement. But for a scrappy startup like Slate, it also brings credibility—and convenience—to the table.
No-Frills EV, Fully Flexible Service
Slate isn’t just about affordable electric vehicles. The company’s goal is to rethink how EVs are serviced, upgraded, and personalized.
That’s where RepairPal comes in. Slate’s new partnership with the nationwide service platform ensures that owners can take their EVs to any RepairPal-certified shop, where trained technicians will be equipped to handle both standard maintenance and custom accessory installs.
Don’t want to install that rooftop tent yourself? No problem—RepairPal’s got you. Shops will even be trained for Slate-specific, high-voltage procedures.
DIY DNA and Open Source Attitude
Slate isn’t following the typical EV rulebook. The company’s design approach is ultra-modular—think a “blank slate” truck with over 100 optional accessories and even a 5-seat SUV conversion kit.
That same DIY spirit extends to repairs and customizations. Owners will have more control, and shops will be empowered to help—not gatekeep.
A Disruptor with Real Momentum
Slate’s strategy is clearly resonating. With over 100,000 reservations already, this no-frills EV maker is on track to shake up the market when production kicks off in late 2026 in Warsaw, Indiana.
