InsideEVs Plugged-In Podcast

Many EV startups have failed. But Telo thinks it can succeed.
On this episode of the Plugged-In Podcast, Mack sits down with Jason Marks and Forrest North, the co-founders of Telo Trucks. Their first product, the MT1, is set to arrive later this year, albeit in small numbers.
The micro-truck promises the bed length of a Toyota Tacoma in an overall footprint that’s only as long as a two-door Mini Cooper. Despite that, Telo says the MT1 will offer up to 350 miles of range, around 500 horsepower, and 400 kW charging.
Is this company the real deal? You’ll have to watch to find out.
