Solo Automotive Inc. is a Vancouver-based Canadian company focused on creating electric vehicles for urban commuters. Its flagship model, the SOLO EV, is a compact, three-wheeled, single-seat electric vehicle designed to help reduce city congestion and emissions. Solo Automotive Inc. continues to strengthen its presence in North America and Europe by offering a practical and environmentally conscious transportation alternative.
The company was founded to serve solo drivers, who make up the majority of daily car trips. Operating with a team of about 50 employees, Solo Automotive Inc. maintains its headquarters in Vancouver while expanding into international markets. Its mission to deliver sustainable urban mobility has also attracted support from investors who believe in its long-term vision.
The SOLO EV was designed from the ground up as a purpose-built commuter vehicle rather than a smaller version of a standard car. Capable of comfortably completing the average 40-mile daily round trip on a single charge, the car includes features commuters need, such as air conditioning, Bluetooth audio, heated seats, and a rear-view camera.
Measuring 122 inches long and 61.4 inches wide, the SOLO EV is compact enough for city streets and tight parking spaces. It weighs 1,735 pounds and provides five cubic feet of storage space, making it practical for errands and daily essentials. Powered by a 56-horsepower electric motor, the SOLO EV reaches a top speed of 80 miles per hour. Its 17.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery supports charging via both standard outlets and Level 2 chargers, offering flexibility for drivers.
Safety is built into the vehicle’s design, with reinforced steel side-impact protection, LED headlights, front and rear crumple zones, and a durable monocoque chassis ensuring a secure driving experience.
Solo Automotive Inc. is guided by three core values: innovation, sustainability, and urban freedom. The SOLO EV’s zero-emission operation helps drivers lower their environmental impact, and its low maintenance and operating costs make it an affordable option for city commuters.
Since its launch, the company has earned recognition from major media outlets and expanded into European markets. In 2025, Solo Automotive Inc. introduced a refundable deposit program, making it easier for customers to reserve and purchase their vehicles.
