Slate Auto, a Jeff Bezos-backed EV startup, raised $650 million in Series C funding led by TWG Global to accelerate pickup truck production scheduled for end of 2026. The round brings total funding to roughly $1.4 billion and reflects the company's Amazon pedigree across leadership and investor base. The funding arrives amid EV market turbulence, with major automakers retreating from EV plans and competitors like Rivian and Lucid Motors struggling to reach scale.
