Compact Electric Vehicles

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Eli Zero is Perfect For Short-Distance Rides Around the Neighborhood

— March 22, 2018 — Autos
The Eli Zero is a high-tech compact electric vehicle that is designed specifically for short rides around urban environments.

Set to be available for a price between $9,900 and $10,900, this compact electric vehicle has enough room for two people and a small amount of cargo, and can hit a top speed of 40 km/h, which is why it is not designed to be used on highways. However, the vehicle does have a range of 89 km, which is more than sufficient for urban use.

While it feels like the electric vehicle market hasn't been around for very long, the fact of the matter is that sub-sectors of this market have already begun to emerge, one of which is the neighborhood electric vehicle or NEV segment. The Eli Zero is squarely targeted towards the NEV market, which prioritizes low cost, lower speeds and urban convenience.
