3 Wheel Electric Solo? Best affordable electric cars to buy.

So it's Pat Patterson with the Best in California. We're in Long Beach at the Electrify Expo. Electric cars, skateboards, unicycles, all sorts of stuff to check out here. So we're here at the Electrify Expo. I'm with Ed Necka and he is with Electra Mechanica and I just I walked by this car. It's a three-wheeler and what's this called Ed? It's called the Solo. And it's a single driver vehicle? It is. It is. It is a fun vehicle to drive. It's a very practical vehicle to drive because in Southern California, 70% of the people who drive on the freeways are single by themselves. It drives me nuts on the freeway. There's a zillion cars going by. Have fun driving a vehicle that can get you in the carpool lane, get you from point A to point B in a very good amount of time and it's all electric, which is what we're talking about. That's why we're here and in terms of kind of the evolution of this car, these are production models obviously. Yes, it is. When might they be available to the general public? It's available now. It's available now. It can't get any sooner than that. Where can they go to get them? They can go to our kiosks at Sherman Oaks Mall, at Torrance Galleria or D'Lamo Mall, Beverly Hills at the Beverly Center and down in San Diego at the La Jolla Village Mall. So here in California, you can get this thing. And so is it safe on the freeway? Absolutely, absolutely. The vehicle has front and rear crumple zones, has an integrated roll bar, has steel beams that run through the side of the door. I mean, it's a very, very safe vehicle and it's fun to drive. So and in terms of kind of a mastermind behind all this, is there a single designer that you can name or is it a company? The company would be Intermeccanica. That is our parent company. If you've seen the original Top Gun movie, the Porsche that was driven by Kelly McGillis was designed and built by Intermeccanica. There's a strong European heritage, as you can tell by the design. When I walked by it, I said Italian, like a Vespa or something. It is, Turin. Right, yeah. Yeah, so we're going to look a little bit. I'm going to show you some close-ups of the Solo, right? Solo. Solo. So, Solo. I thought it was Sello. I'm out of my mind. It is Solo. And so let's take a look at this thing. Thanks, Ed. Wow, the legroom's incredible. That is incredible. This just feels like a regular car. This is incredible. So come around here, Ed, real quick. Yeah, just kind of lean in here. Okay. Tell me a little bit about what we got here. We got power windows, everything. Power windows. I mean, to be honest with you, I kind of thought I'd be getting into a rudimentary car, but this has everything. Not at all. You have power mirrors, power windows, you have air conditioning, you have a backup camera, you have a seat warmer, you have Bluetooth. Everything you need to commute to work and back or around town, going to the grocery store, to the gym, what you need is right here for you. So great. So suggested retail price, roughly? $18,500 plus, obviously, tax and license. $18,000. So cheaper than a motorcycle. Oh, it's a great value. Great value. Unbelievable.
