Would you buy this tiny electric car? It’s made by a company called Electra Meccanica, and it’s an idea the company has been pushing for a while now. Today, though, the company unveiled the first photos of the production version, which is being sold for $19,888 in Canada (about $15,500 US). You can preorder it on the company’s website for $250, and it ships next year. The company said earlier this summer that it had already taken more than 20,000 of those preorders, which to be clear, are refundable. It’s an electric vehicle, but it only seats one. It has 82 horsepower and a fairly decent range of 100 miles, and it can go 0–60mph in eight seconds, but it will take three hours to charge on a Level 2 charger. It has 15-inch wheels and is almost two feet (!) shorter than a Fiat 500. Electra Meccanica boasts that the Solo has 285 liters (10 cubic feet) of cargo space, or "approximately as much as a Mercedes Benz C3002 Coupe." See http://ift.tt/2cenWNd
