Cost-Effective Electric Cars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Affordable Car Can Fit Only One Passenger

— June 7, 2016 — Autos
This eccentric-looking affordable car is less costly than most electric vehicles on the market.

The SOLO car, designed by Electra Meccanica, has very little carrying capacity as it fits only one passenger -- however the concept is ideal for commuters who are living in a busy city. With smaller and more environmentally-friendly cars on roads, this would likely make commuting a faster and easier on the environment. This car can accelerate up to 125 miles between charges, making the commuter vehicle perfect for small trips around town.

The affordable car is unique in both its appearance and its function, boasting a three-wheeled design and holding just one passenger. In addition to being cost-effective and convenient, the vehicle is also sustainable, making it appeal to the eco-conscious consumer.
Trend Themes
1. Affordable Electric Vehicles - The SOLO car offers a low-cost option for electric vehicle transportation, making it accessible to a wider range of consumers.
2. Small-scale Commuter Vehicles - The SOLO car's compact design and single-passenger capacity caters to the needs of urban commuters, providing a more efficient and agile transportation option.
3. Sustainable Transportation - The eco-friendly features of the SOLO car appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers, presenting an opportunity for companies to cater to the growing demand for green transportation solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Vehicle Manufacturing - The emergence of affordable electric cars like the SOLO car presents an opportunity for the electric vehicle manufacturing industry to tap into a wider consumer base.
2. Urban Mobility Solutions - The compact and efficient design of the SOLO car caters to the needs of urban commuters, creating opportunities for companies in the urban mobility industry to develop and provide innovative transportation solutions.
3. Sustainable Automotive Technologies - The sustainability-focused features of the SOLO car highlight the potential for innovation in the sustainable automotive technologies industry, allowing for the development of more environmentally-friendly transportation options.
