With a footprint comparable to a MINI Cooper, TELO offers the perfect solution for navigating crowded city [streets and tight parking](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/05/epa-rain-catcher-award-for-lindsay-street-park-in-atlanta/) spaces. However, don’t let its size fool you – TELO packs a punch when it comes to performance. ### Toyota Tacoma Capability, Tesla-like Range and Efficiency TELO has managed to combine the best of both worlds when it comes to capability and efficiency. With Toyota Tacoma capability, TELO can handle a variety of tasks, from hauling heavy loads to navigating off-road trails. At the same time, TELO offers a Tesla-like range and efficiency, allowing for long drives without the need for frequent charging stops. ### A Highly Functional and Versatile TELO Electric Truck TELO Trucks is designed to do more with less. With its standard crew-cab 5-seat configuration and a 5-foot bed, TELO offers ample space for both passengers and cargo. But what sets TELO apart is its innovative mid-partition, which can be configured to either increase the bed size or provide additional seating for up to 8 passengers. ⌊Press talk for TELO⌉⌊Press talk for TELO⌉ ⌊Front end telo trucks⌉ ### Innovative Bed Design and Storage Solutions TELO’s truck bed is not just a place to haul cargo; it’s a versatile space that adapts to your needs. With a 60″ bed length, TELO can accommodate 4′ x 8′ plywood sheets or even an 8′ surfboard with the tailgate up. But that’s not all – TELO also features a specially designed storage tunnel under the bed, which doubles as a footwell for a third row of seats. This unique design allows TELO to accommodate up to eight passengers while still providing ample storage space. ⌊Front end ⌉⌊Front end ⌉ ⌊Side logo telo trucks⌉ ⌊Truck bed for TELO⌉ ⌊Skateboard for TELO ⌉ ### Range to Roam (Born to be Wild TELO) Range anxiety is a common concern for EV owners, but TELO Trucks has addressed this issue head-on.
