ElectraMeccanica Solo Battery Electric Car


About the ElectraMeccanica Battery Electric Car

Dynamic Performance

You don’t have to give up performance when you give up gas. Zero to 60 in 8 seconds. Top speed of 80 MPH. Your Solo accelerates your commute while reducing your environmental footprint. Sustainability has never looked—or felt—better.

Quick Charge, Prime Parking

Three hours to a full charge. All the best parking spots. Your Solo is powered by a 17.3 kWh lithium ion battery and compatible with universal charging stations everywhere.

The Definition of Low Maintenance

Your Solo has 99% fewer parts than a combustion engine—meaning significantly fewer opportunities for things to go wrong. Spend more time getting where you want to be, and less time dealing with unexpected maintenance.

Safer than a motorcycle, cooler than a car

Your Solo is rigorously tested, and tested again. It’s being engineered to meet global motor vehicle safety standards for today and the future.

The details you expect, and some you won’t

Heated seat. Vegan-friendly vehicle. Bluetooth stereo. Rear-view camera. Keep all the perks of your full-sized car, but none of the upkeep and a fraction of the costs.

Charge Everywhere

What if you charged your car the way you charge your phone? When it’s not in use, it’s charging. Free public charging is now a mainstay in malls, parking lots and city-built stations, and it’s easy to install a low-cost charge station at home.
