Squad Mobility Offers A Solar-Powered Electric Car For $6,500

Dutch startup Squad Mobility is now accepting pre-orders for the Squad, a solar-powered electric car priced at a mere $6500. It doesn’t offer the geewizardry of a Tesla; in fact, it looks more like a golf cart than a car. It has a range of 62 miles and a top speed of 45 km/h . Perhaps one has to live in a crowded urban setting like Amsterdam where parking for full size cars is practically nonexistent to appreciate the need for such a vehicle.

According tothe Squad is ideal for running quick errands around town and could be a suitable alternative to a second car for lots of folks. It could take the place of a bicycle for longer trips or on rainy days.The Squad comes equipped with a solar panel integrated into its roof, which Squad Mobility says can add 20 kilometers of driving range daily, depending on how sunny it is, of course.

This is a great little car. Will do well!

The utility carts in my neighborhood need to be able to power lifts. The guys operating them say there aren’t any EVs that can do this yet.
