Solo Automotive Inc. is a Vancouver-based Canadian company dedicated to designing electric vehicles specifically for urban commuting. Its flagship product, the SOLO EV, is a single-seat, three-wheeled electric vehicle built to offer a practical way to reduce congestion and emissions in cities. The company is steadily increasing its presence in markets throughout North America and Europe.

Founded to provide a better transportation option for solo drivers, Solo Automotive Inc. operates with a team of about 50 employees. While maintaining its Canadian roots, the company is focused on expanding internationally. Its commitment to sustainable mobility and urban efficiency has also gained the support of investors who share its vision.

The SOLO EV was created with the understanding that most car trips involve just one person. Rather than simply shrinking a conventional car, Solo Automotive Inc. designed a purpose-built commuter vehicle. Capable of comfortably covering a typical 40-mile round trip on a single charge, the SOLO EV includes practical features such as air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats, and a rear-view camera.

The compact design of the SOLO EV makes it well-suited for dense urban environments. Measuring 122 inches long and 61.4 inches wide, the vehicle weighs 1,735 pounds and provides five cubic feet of storage space for daily essentials. It is powered by a 56-horsepower electric motor that reaches a top speed of 80 miles per hour. The 17.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery is compatible with both standard outlets and Level 2 chargers, allowing flexibility for drivers.

Safety remains a priority in the SOLO EV’s construction. Features such as steel side-impact protection, LED lighting, front and rear crumple zones, and a durable monocoque chassis ensure a secure and stable driving experience.

Solo Automotive Inc. focuses on three guiding principles: innovation, sustainability, and urban freedom. The SOLO EV’s zero-emission operation helps reduce environmental impact, while low maintenance and operating costs make it a practical choice 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 system to make the vehicle reservation and purchase process more straightforward for customers worldwide.
