Quote100 mile range and a $15,500 price tag
Delivery supposed to be late 2018.

Three-wheeler. AC adds $1k. Charger: $500

Nice concept, but it seems overpriced and it only has a 100 mile range.
>overpriced
Particularly when compared to the Elio (who did the legislative groundwork in 50 states to get 3-wheelers approved as a separate vehicle class).

> it only has a 100 mile range.
Exactly. Perfect for a commute. Or, enough mileage to get you to an airport where you can fly somewhere else for vacation.
Another 3-wheeler. $12k, no sides, even less range.

>no sides,
Now we're crossing back into 2 wheels as a real option territory.
>2 wheels
Except that would require a motorcycle drivers permit and probably a helmet under most state laws, IIRC. Elio got the cockpit-covered 3-wheeler set up as a new vehicle class in order to get around that (while avoiding the crash protection and other mandates for 4-wheelers).

This one smells of vaporware to me.

Has A/C !!
$15,400 now we are talking. 100 mile range on a 110v 6 hour charge, that is doable. So what if it is a single seater, I see a lot of cars, including my own with only just a driver.
We are getting close to that sweet spot for mass adoption of electric vehicles.
I still want a small EV pickup or van.

Remember that any 3-wheeler design for the US is likely to be because it is circumventing the crash standards. These are motorcycles with amenities wrapped in a thin candy shell.

Nice. I don't recall seeing that one before.
>e-nv200
At least somebody has one. Nice.

Exactly what I am thinking...I'll stick to the bike or a real vehicle.
First production Solo three-wheeler EV rolls off the assembly line

" retails for $19,900, which is not exactly cheap. It has a top speed of 75 mph, a city-driving range of just over 100 miles, and comes with creature comforts like heated seats, heated grips, a phone mount, the ability to pair your smartphone to onboard Bluetooth speakers, lockable storage, and removable half-doors "
