EV startup Squad Mobility has announced its upcoming two-seater electric vehicle with a solar roof. The Squad (Solar Quad) will debut in Europe in 2023 and its starting price is €6,250 ($6,591).
The Squad is a solar-powered compact EV that features a pretty simple design and is projected as an affordable EV. Its design incorporates large windows, removable doors, stylish wheels, and a roof-mounted solar panel. The Squad’s solar panel is capable of delivering up to 20km of mileage per day. The car also has a swappable battery setup to enhance its range to around 100km. The Squad’s battery can be charged using regular household outlets, which adds to its versatility.
The Squad’s interior features a very simple and inexpensive design. It however has a digital instrument cluster and some other basic systems like climate control. Two rear-mounted electric motors will provide up to 5HP in output and a top speed of 45km/h. The company says it is also developing a four-seat solar-powered EV but no timelines were given for its release.
Squad Mobility says it is already accepting pre-orders for the Squad. The €6,250 ($6,591) price tag will be slightly higher after statutory taxes are factored in. There are no indications at this time whether Squad Mobility also has global plans for the Squad.
