ElectraMeccanica announces new cost-effective aluminium chassis for the single-occupant SOLO EV
ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp., a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles, has announced the engineering and development of a new, cost-effective aluminium chassis for the company’s flagship, single-occupant SOLO electric vehicle (EV).
The new, high strength, drop-in aluminium chassis will replace the current composite chassis in the SOLO EV, making it much better suited for mass production by reducing the overall weight and per-unit assembly cost of the vehicle. ElectraMeccanica has engaged a Tier 1 engineering partner with a global presence, which will provide on-the-ground support in both Canada and China.
“This project represents our continued focus on evolving the safety, comfort and design of our flagship single-occupant SOLO EV, while incorporating important cost saving advantages to improve margins in mass-production,” said Paul Rivera, Chief Executive Officer of ElectraMeccanica. “The partner we've selected for this project brings significant expertise in lightweight, high-strength automotive safety structures that are perfectly suited for the SOLO. We look forward to the impending launch of the revolutionary SOLO EV later this year.”
With an MSRP of $18,500, the SOLO EV is a trend-setting all-electric, single-seat vehicle expected to revolutionize the commuting, delivery and shared mobility experience.
