Telo's Tiny Electric Truck For Cities Has Surprisingly High-Powered Charging

Telo announced the peak charging power for its ultra-compact MT1 electric truck this week, revealing it can charge at a maximum of 120 kilowatts (kW). This charging capability is notable for a vehicle of its size and intended urban use. The MT1 is designed to be a practical, small-scale electric truck, with Telo aiming for production to commence in 2024. The company has positioned the MT1 as a solution for urban logistics and personal use, emphasizing its maneuverability and efficiency. The 120 kW peak charging rate suggests that the MT1 can achieve a significant charge in a relatively short period, a key factor for commercial vehicle uptime and consumer convenience. Telo has not yet disclosed the specific battery size or the expected charging times from various states of charge, but the 120 kW capability indicates compatibility with many public DC fast-charging stations. The company's focus on urban mobility with a truck form factor differentiates it in the growing electric vehicle market.
