On today’s hard-working episode of Quick Charge, we tip our collective hat to Apple CEO Tim Cook on his last day at work before taking a look at Jeff Bezos-backed Slate Auto’s approach to the compact truck market, and ponder its chances against The House That Henry Built. We’ve also got a pint-size powerhouse in the form of Waev’s new Tiger Li-Ion airport tug that can tow more than 60,000 lbs., all day, every day, for nearly $20,000 per year less than the diesel competition.
