But the company uses insulated battery pack heating and cooling systems designed to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the energy storage system down to minus 40.

Co-founder Curtis Miller says the company, which launched in 2019, has come a long way in its larger electric vehicle designs.

“Five years later, we have several different solutions on the table to provide fleets with easy access to electrify their vehicles,” Miller said. “There are a couple of different approaches that we are using to do that.”

“We are using unique battery approaches that have not been used before in northern climates.”

The company offers nine basic vehicle configurations.

One of the key selling points of Teal-EV vehicles is that they have the same upfront cost as a diesel vehicle.
