INTRODUCTION

TELO Trucks makes the world’s most efficient EV pickup for urban living and weekend adventuring

We redesigned the EV truck footprint and function from the ground up by marrying the state of the art in electrification and advanced safety technology.

With Toyota Tacoma capability, Tesla-like range and efficiency, in the footprint of a MINI Cooper, the TELO MT1 is the most compact, practical and technically advanced truck.

Meeting the need for a highly functional and powerful EV pickup equally suited to navigating downtown and hauling people and gear out of town.

Built to handle everything you need

The TELO MT1's 60-inch truck bed extends into the backseat via an innovative midgate, accommodating everything from 4-by-8-foot sheets of plywood to 8-foot surfboards with the tailgate up.

A specially designed storage tunnel under the bed doubles as a footwell for a third row of seats allowing you to comfortably seat up to eight passengers.
