2026 Electric TELO Compact Truck (American Made)

[LevelUP]

This is a cool-looking electric compact pickup truck with a starting price of $42,000. The truck offers substantial utility and achieves approximately 3 miles per kilowatt-hour—comparable to the efficiency of the Model Y.





Tesla should consider offering a compact truck. While their Cybertruck is visually appealing, its starting price of $80,000 makes it more of a luxury toy, similar to the Hummer. In contrast, Rivian’s offerings start at $70,000 yet only achieve about 2.2 miles per kilowatt-hour.

In another case, a family ditched their $110,000 Ford F-150 electric truck during a drive from Winnipeg to Chicago after experiencing charging troubles. The main complaints were that it took two hours to charge and cost more than gasoline.

Overall, I'm very gung ho about electric cars, though I acknowledge that many of these vehicles aren't highly practical for everyday use.
