Slate Auto will unveil its newest electric truck during TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, marking the first public appearance of the vehicle before its official release. The presentation will be led by CEO Chris Barman, who will provide a detailed look at the company’s approach to transforming the commercial electric vehicle (EV) sector.
According to the event organizers, Barman’s session will take place live on the main stage, offering audiences a first-hand view of the truck and insights into Slate’s development process. The company said the showcase would explore how it is “reimagining the commercial EV market — from design to manufacturing,” reflecting its ambition to compete in one of the most demanding industries in technology and transportation.
Barman is expected to discuss the challenges of scaling hardware innovation, managing supply chain complexity, and navigating the financial pressures that come with manufacturing electric vehicles. The appearance also highlights the growing role of startups in advancing EV adoption and disrupting markets traditionally dominated by legacy automakers.
TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, one of the technology industry’s most prominent startup conferences, will feature the unveiling as a headline event. Organizers said attendees registering before October 17 could save up to $624, with additional group discounts available.
The presentation underscores Slate Auto’s push to position itself as a serious contender in the commercial EV space, as demand for sustainable transportation continues to accelerate worldwide. With a live reveal planned for the Disrupt Stage, the company aims to demonstrate both its technical capability and its readiness to scale production in a rapidly evolving market.
