Dutch Startup Squad Mobility

Amsterdam based, Dutch startup Squad Mobility is taking pre-orders for its new electric, solar powered car - the Squad car.  It is a small, 2 seat EV designed for city driving.  The maximum speed is 28 mph.  It's about the size of a golf cart.  And, like a golf cart, it doesn't require a driver's license or a helmet.

Tiny & Green

The vehicle is small:  6.5 feet by 4 feet.  Three Squad cars can fit into a regular parking space.  Charged just on sun for a day, it has a range of 12 miles.  The developers say it doesn't require full sunshine to charge, which can be inconsistent in the Netherlands and in many other locations.  For longer trips, the car has a battery that can charge on a regular wall outlet.  

Production Schedule

In Europe, production of the car is scheduled for the 4th quarter of 2022.  It can be pre-ordered in Europe for 50 euros ($59.05).  Outside of Europe, the vehicle can be pre-ordered but there is no estimated date for the start of production.  

Inexpensive EVs are a Growing Market

There are a growing number of inexpensive EVs coming to market.  Besides the Squad car, there is China's Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV for $4,200 and California's Kandi America's Model K27 for $8,000.  It is getting less expensive to be a green driver.  To take a look at Edward Kane's latest book "New Travel Concepts" go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B098PH12XB&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_EP42P49ECY6KN5DW2E30    It is an Amazon #1 new release.  I co-authored it with Ed.
