Telo’s electric MT1 mini-truck gets a new preproduction prototype
Telo has received “over 5,000” preorders.
The San Carlos, California-based startup recently closed a $5.4 million funding round and is working with bespoke manufacturing partner Aria Group (which has built EV restomods including for companies like Everrati) to enter the next development phase towards the final mini-truck.
