LOS ANGELES — This three-wheeler could hardly be called a family car, but it’s sure to turn heads whenever it hits the road.
The ElectraMeccanica Solo is a single-seat electric vehicle that’s billed as thrifty, fun and practical. They have been imported from China, though the company opened an assembly and technical center in Mesa with the goal of building the 2023 model in the U.S.
The Solo is certainly cheaper than a lot of conventional cars – gasoline-powered or electric. It’s priced at $18,500, and the company says it can go up to 100 miles on a single charge, be fully recharged from a standard 110-volt outlet in 15 hours and has a top speed of 80 mph. Its two-wheeled front resembles the nose of a Nissan.
It’s also good for deliveries — at the auto show, ElectraMeccanica was demonstrating a version suited to pizzerias. The company has recently partnered with American West Restaurant Group, which says it’s the largest Pizza Hut franchisee in California and Utah. Phoenix entrepreneur Paul Elio exemplifies the three-wheel challenges. A decade ago, his startup designed a gasoline powered vehicle — it has two seats, one behind the other — that promised 84 mpg.
