ElectraMeccanica Announces New Cost-Effective Aluminum Chassis for Flagship, Single-Occupant SOLO EV

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) ("ElectraMeccanica" or the "Company"), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles, has announced the engineering and development of a new, cost-effective aluminum chassis for the Company’s flagship, single-occupant SOLO electric vehicle (EV).

The new, high strength, drop-in aluminum chassis will replace the current composite chassis in the SOLO EV, making it much better suited for mass production by reducing the overall weight and per-unit assembly cost of the vehicle. ElectraMeccanica has engaged a Tier-One engineering partner with a global presence, which will provide on-the-ground support in both Canada and China.

“This project represents our continued focus on evolving the safety, comfort and design of our flagship single-occupant SOLO EV, while incorporating important cost saving advantages to improve margins in mass-production,” said Paul Rivera, Chief Executive Officer of ElectraMeccanica. “The partner we’ve selected for this project brings significant expertise in lightweight, high-strength automotive safety structures that are perfectly suited for the SOLO. We look forward to the impending launch of the revolutionary SOLO EV later this year.”

With an MSRP of $18,500, the SOLO EV is a trend-setting all-electric, single-seat vehicle expected to revolutionize the commuting, delivery and shared mobility experience. To be one of the first to own a SOLO, please reserve yours online by visiting www.electrameccanica.com.
