Vehicle maker to exhibit three examples of unique electric vehicles – including refreshed SOLO concept – designed to “right size the daily commute”
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) ("ElectraMeccanica" or the "Company"), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles, today announced that the next revolution in fully-electric urban mobility is coming to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022, where the Company will showcase several variants of their award-winning single-seat, three-wheel electric SOLO EV at the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 5-8, 2022.
First previewed at CES in 2018, where it won the IHS Markit Innovation Award, the SOLO EV redefines the idea of personal urban transportation. Today, almost 80 percent of U.S. daily commutes are done alone in gas-powered passenger vehicles. Not only is this inefficient – leaving three or more empty seats in each car – it also a major environmental concern. Purpose-built around today’s drivers, ElectraMeccanica’s SOLO EVs provide a much-needed tech-forward, eco-friendly solution that addresses the empty space between micro-mobility (like bikes and scooters) and traditional transportation.
At CES 2022, ElectraMeccanica will showcase three SOLO EV variants, including an all-new, conceptual refresh of its flagship, single-seat SOLO EV. Refreshed elements – such as a redesign of the vehicle’s dashboard – were added to improve and optimize overall driver experience and convenience. Innovative touch-screen LED monitors have been added to provide a more seamless user experience with the vehicle’s entertainment, navigation and cabin settings.
Also on display will be the Company’s SOLO Cargo, a modified version of the flagship vehicle, developed based on direct input from prospective commercial and fleet customers. Replacing the flagship’s traditional hatchback, the SOLO Cargo features a uniquely styled expanded 11.8 sq ft cargo box and other slight modifications to accommodate a wide range of commercial applications – from food delivery to municipal fleet use and beyond. The highly anticipated, fully-electric SOLO Cargo made its debut earlier this year at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo 2021 in Long Beach, CA.
Fresh off it’s debut at SEMA 2021 and the Los Angeles Auto Show 2021, the SOLO O2 concept vehicle will also be displayed at CES. Highlighting what’s possible with next-generation design, ElectraMeccanica’s SOLO O2 is a very popular convertible variant of the flagship SOLO EV.
“CES is the premier event to show the world what the future of clean transportation looks like, so we’re thrilled to be back, showcasing the next chapter in ElectraMeccanica’s story,” said Kevin Pavlov, CEO of ElectraMeccanica. “The SOLO EV is unlike any other vehicle on the market, and it represents a massive opportunity for consumers and businesses. Not only is it fun to drive, but it’s also the eco-friendly option that today’s drivers want and deserve.”
ElectraMeccanica’s exhibit will be in the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall in Booth 3677.
ElectraMeccanica currently has 20 retail locations across the Western U.S. The Production SOLO EV can be purchased by reservation now with a fully refundable deposit of
