Solo Automotive Inc
Electric Vehicle (EV) and Sustainable Transportation Industry
Solo Automotive Inc. is a Vancouver-based Canadian company that creates sustainable electric vehicles for urban commuters Their standout product, the SOLO EV, is a single-seat, three-wheeled electric vehicle designed specifically for city driving By offering a compact and efficient alternative to traditional cars, Solo aims to reduce traffic congestion and emissions while making daily travel simpler and more affordable Solo is also expanding its presence across North America and Europe.
Where It All Started
Solo Automotive Inc began operations to provide an intelligent solution for solo urban drivers seeking clean and efficient mobility With approximately 50 employees and offices in Vancouver, the company continues to uphold Canadian values while engaging in wider market expansion throughout North America and Europe The company has aligned investor interest with sustainable urban mobility.
Product Offering Based on Actual Commuting Patterns
Solo's flagship product, the SOLO EV, is a fully electric, three-wheeled, single-seat vehicle built specifically for dense urban environments Studies show that around 80% of car trips are made by individuals driving alone. Rather than scaling down larger cars, the company reimagined the vehicle structure altogether
The average commute round-trip is roughly 40 miles The SOLO EV comfortably supports this range on a single charge. This efficiency is paired with modern features that appeal directly to commuters: air conditioning, a Bluetooth audio system with USB support, an LCD digital instrument cluster, and power windows and mirrors. Drivers can enjoy remote keyless entry, a rear-view backup camera, and heated seats for added comfort across seasons.
The storage space measures five cubic feet, enough for essentials such as groceries, gym bags, or work equipment With a compact body measuring 122 inches in length and 61 4 inches in width and a curb weight of 1,735 pounds, the SOLO EV is well-suited for urban mobility without contributing to congestion.
Engineering and Performance Built for City Streets
The SOLO EV achieves a top speed of 80 miles per hour and features rear-wheel drive powered by a 56-horsepower liquid-cooled synchronous motor. With 103 foot-pounds of torque, the vehicle offers a smooth and responsive drive through city streets and suburban environments
The battery is a 144-volt, 17 4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion NCA pack with liquid cooling Charging flexibility is built into the system Using a 220-volt Level 2 charger, the SOLO EV charges from 0% to 85% in approximately 2.5 hours. A full charge from 0% to 100% can be achieved in 6 hours For users relying on a standard 120-volt outlet, the vehicle can charge from 0% to 85% in 12.5 hours and reach 100% in 15 hours.
Safety and Durability
Safety remains a central concern in the SOLO EV's construction It includes LED headlights with daytime running lights, power disc brakes, and a collapsible steering column Additional features include triple-reinforced steel side-impact protection, front and rear crumple zones, a high-strength steel halo roll bar, and torque-limiting stability control
The chassis is a composite monocoque shell, contributing to durability while maintaining a light frame for performance efficiency Together, these engineering decisions deliver a secure and comfortable driving experience suited for the daily realities of solo commuting.
Clear Values Driving Company Direction
Solo Automotive's operations reflect three primary values: innovation, sustainability, and urban freedom The SOLO EV's zero-emission operation immediately reduces environmental impact On average, a daily commuter using a traditional gasoline vehicle generates more than 5,500 pounds of CO₂ emissions annually Replacing that commute with a SOLO EV eliminates that output, offering drivers a tangible and measurable shift in their environmental footprint.
Affordability remains a key component of the company's mission SOLO EVs cost significantly less to maintain and operate than traditional internal combustion vehicles. Maintenance needs are lower, electricity charges replace fuel costs, and insurance rates are often more favorable due to the vehicle's size and configuration.
Urban freedom is expressed through the SOLO EV's compact size, simplified maneuvering, and stress-free parking in tight areas. The car is built to suit real city spaces and routines rather than force drivers to adjust their habits to the limitations of larger vehicles
Milestones Marking Progress and Recognition
SOLO Automotive Inc has reached several major milestones since its initial launch, and it's one of the few EV-focused manufacturers to gain early investor confidence. That same year saw the introduction of the SOLO EV, the world's first single-seat electric commuter vehicle created from the ground up for solo drivers.
Recognition followed as media coverage in global publications such as CNN, Bloomberg, Forbes, and MotorTrend highlighted the vehicle's unique design, performance, and environmental benefits
International expansion efforts have resulted in vehicle deliveries throughout Canada and the United States Pilot programs in European cities have introduced the vehicle to new markets and generated valuable feedback for future adaptations and product iterations.
In 2025, the company opened new opportunities for customer engagement by streamlining the ordering and delivery process. A $200 fully refundable deposit allows interested buyers to reserve their vehicle with minimal risk After deposit, customers are guided through the purchase and delivery process with the support of sales associates and delivery advisors
