The public and the press have seen it for the first time.

Editor's note: This report was submitted by TFLtruck.com Special Correspondent Gary Scott. Gary attended the Atlis public event this week.

Atlis just moved into their new industrial park facility in Mesa, Arizona, just the day before this introduction event. The event is called "Atlis Battery Day".

The key to their technology is their battery design, and they promise to provide unprecedented fast charging capabilities—500 miles in 15 minutes. Their battery packs are also modular, with a variety of capacities ranging from 300 miles to 500 miles, and are designed to be replaced relatively quickly when appropriate equipment that can handle up to 4,000 pounds is available.

Yes, the battery weighs 4,000 pounds.

Their batteries use soldered copper plates, PCBA management, and top interconnection systems, without the need for internal cables. Each battery is immersed in a dielectric fluid solution, and an efficient thermal management structure is adopted to ensure temperature control.

Not only must they invent a battery that can be charged quickly, but they must also invent a 1.5 MW charging system that is as easy or easier to use as Tesla's 225 to 250 kilowatt charging station.

The company showed off the prototype chassis of the "skateboard" at hand. Compared with similar electric trucks currently developed with built-in electric motors and half axles, it does not seem to have any obvious advantages. The high-rise layout is similar to the Rivian R1T pickup.

CEO Mark Hanchett took the time to explain more about the chassis design. It turns out that the entire vehicle is modular and the focus is on ease of maintenance. This can make it stand out.

The most unusual aspect of the prototype is the height of the frame rails surrounding the battery pack. These rails are approximately 14 inches high. It is very thick and can hold the cabin a few inches higher than most competitive vehicles.

Atlis started working with 5 other people in Mark Hanchett's garage. Their philosophy is to build an excellent car for those engaged in physical work, and they determined early on that the key to success is to improve battery technology.

Their goal for the vehicle itself is to make it robust, efficient, and affordable—a vehicle suitable for the commercial market.

The solution utilizes different chemical compositions and unique battery design, and can operate efficiently in a wide temperature range.

Their goal is to provide a production rolling chassis within a year and start with moderate production and then develop in a cautious manner.

This is a quick tour of Atlis facilities.

Below are other electric trucks that should arrive in the next 1-2 years.
