I drive the SOLO - it feels like a normal small car - already about 7000 miles - very stable, cost effective, provides everything I need - I plan to use for many years.
I'm partial to the Microlino too as I used to drive an Isetta but the other cars I would consider are the Solo and the Aptera. I drive to work and return 30Km each way and as most of my travel is on a 100 kmh speed zoned highway, top speed is a major consideration.
I agree wat we need is affordable small cars but what I do not see is the Renault 5e, favoured to come out in 2024 in UK dealerships with a range of over 150miles.
City One is the best by a country mile. All electric vehicles should have removable batteries for quick charging. I love how it has seatting for four people. Perfect for the commuter who sometimes has to car pool their bodies around or drives with friends on the weekend.

There is a huge market which has never been properly exploited by any car manufacturer: Musicians. We are hundeds of millions of people (some professional, some not) often with very special transport needs. We musicians live and work mainly in areas with high population density. We travel mainly alone, and many of us can't get our instruments and accessories onto public transport, or carry them the extra kilometre at the end anyway. And increasingly, we musicians can't even get access to our gigs in our medium or large size vehicles. But double basses and keyboards can fit into very small cars if the cars are designed with long shapes in mind. And modular cargo flooring/shelving would help musicians who have lots of stands and small items to pack. Come on manufacturers! Do some clever designs for musicians!
@@automotiveterritory They could work for some musicians, depending on price and range required by the musician. Cities with congestion charges and punitive parking fees still need musicians, so the Nimbus Halo will be interesting to city musicians who can get their instruments inside. There is a Carver cargo model which would be fabulous for the more compact speakers or drum kits, but I don't see a 160cm long keyboard case or a double bass arm slotting into it. In fact, the existing hatchbacks are often problematic anyway, but they don't have to be. It's a question of thinking outside the (cubic cargo) box at the design stage and making slots for long thin shapes. Could be good for tradesmen too. We potential users are not all delivering square boxes and pizzas.
City One is what I think is what is economical, compact, and have the option to covert a 5 seater to a mini-cargo. There is one thing I am curious about this EVs.. Although these are built for urban driving, meaning not fast, I would like to know if it was tested for collisions. How safe will this EVs can be?
This is the question that we are consumers are allowed to ask but there aren't many reports available. Considering that all vehicles have to go through crash test ratings, we should request this information from the manufacturers
A more recent update on the ElectraMeccanica Solo. They are buying back ALL their G2 and G3 models. It would just be a recall, but they don't know what is causing the loss of power to the drive train so they don't have a fix. The G1s are ok. I hope they come out with a new model soon, or they may not be sustainable.
Hello this is jai I want to buy an electric car for doordash delivery and personal use how much will it cost what is the speed where we can buy can u give me details please
I try to show estimated prices on the video. I am also leaving information about official websites, where you can look up other specifications, including the local prices.
I follow your channel and just about everything else i can find about car and vehicle design, transportation and electrification of transports. It interests me mostly from a design perspective, but more and more also from a sustainability perspective. (I just read a book about Gretas family, and they are so right). We have to change some habits 🌱⚡️👍🏻 in this world. Following what is happening in the car and vehicle industry makes me more and more concerned. Production of large, heavy SUVs and over powered ICE vehicles hits the roads like there is no problem in the world. And most of the electric cars feels like they are Gigantic energyconsuming heavyweights and It doesnt feel right either. Maybe it would be a good idea to get some focus on smaller, more energy efficient vehicles and on solarcars in some way? Perhaps competitions that gives credit to the most sustainable and energy efficient way of transportation instead of just fastest and most powerful (we already know Plaid wins everything) ⚡️⚡️🏋️♂️🏆😊🌍⭐️⚡️✨ I have noticed that some efforts are beeing done in that segment. Wouldnt it be nice to see a lightweight, lowcost sustainable campervan running mostly on solar, or a commuter, a familycar or a citycar that makes low footprint.

Tandem side by side is the only way to go. I wouldn't give much for a unit that stacks one person behind the other. It's like the passenger is an afterthought. Mileage is important too. Aptera has it all, it seems.
Please use proper meassurements in your videos. Only one country still used miles and inches... The rest of the world works with the metric system. USe that. So we knoe what you're on about.
Most if not all of these cars would not be allowed in North America..also some of the mileage and 0-60 claims are outrageous..but It is good that these are coming out in abundance, as this will force changes in infrastructure in mainstreaming electric vehicles as they still are not accepted in North America, as in Europe for example.
@@automotiveterritory In North America?..One word..SAFETY..although if I was able to build one myself I could probably get it liscenced and be on the road, but when your selling to the masses, its a different story!
@@automotiveterritory - In the U.S., four-wheeled vehicles are subject to costly regulations, mostly due to crash standards. Three-wheeled vehicles get a pass as they are classified as motorcycles and do not have to meet these standards. Thus, the Aptera and Solo would be legal at the moment. Then there's cultural acceptance. Americans love SUV's, pickup trucks and crossovers. Manufacturers have to justify the cost/benefit ratio of certifying small cars against the historically poor sales record. Hopefully that will change one day, but it could take a while.
Probably most interested in the city one, smart concept and vw id life, so the ones that look like cars! Ideally I would be looking for 100 miles of range and a price under £10000. I'll add that I already have a mid size EV.
It seems to me that no one here is from the USA. These cars, if you can call them that, would simply be a speed bump that all the trucks and SUVs would run over. They would be vary dangerous to drive them in the USA.
my old house had a garage..I could get my car inside but the garage was too narrow to open the door and get out!!....the microlino would have been perfect
They do exist and sell quite well, but unfortunately, it strongly depends on the market where you are shopping. Asia, Europe and Oceania have far greater availability than the rest of the world
I support downsizing. The VW ID Life looks the most viable vehicle here but it trades some efficiency for practicality. The Aptera is a stunningly efficient vehicle and provides the most interest if it becomes commercially available.
car manufacturers: here, do you want a giant electric SUV that you can't afford? people: no, we want a small affordable car with a good range. car manufacturers: oh, a small car? how about these stupid little electric boxes which are too small to be practical? people: ...
@@automotiveterritory that's fine, but i was remarking on how bizarre it is that electric cars fall between two extremes; either colossal SUVs that cost more money than what most people make in a year, or tiny boxes that could never be driven on a motorway. in my opinion, a small car is either an A-segment or B-segment car as per European Commission classifications. so yes, something like a Zoe, although the Zoe is still too expensive and the majority of car manufacturers do not make a Zoe equivalent.
Well, you are making a good point but there is one statement of yours that I couldn't agree with. Electric cars have been around for a decade and they are significantly underrepresented in the mid-size and large SUV classes. Until recently Tesla Model X, Mercedes EQC and Nio ES8 were the roomiest options out there. Nowadays Mercedes has EQA and EQB models but they also come with the Mercedes level of luxury. But in general, I hear you, the segment of budget friendly city cars is only starting to form.
@@automotiveterritory i don't understand how you can say electric cars are underrepresented in SUV classes. almost every major car manufacturer sells at least one electric SUV. that's a lot of choice. hyundai- IONIQ 5, Kona ford- mustang mach-e volkswagen- ID.4, ID.5 toyota- bZ4x Kia- soul EV, e-Niro, EV6 Audi- Q4 e-tron, e-tron, e-tron S, Q3 tfsi e, Q5 tfsi e, Q7 tfsi e, Q8 tfsi e...

Jaguar- iPace Nissan- Ariya if you want a small car, well, you've got the e-up, the zoe, maybe the peugeot e-208 or vauxhaull e-corsa. but the range on the e-up is terrible, and even the e-208 and e-corsa are larger than they need to be. the consumer wants a small, cheap electric car with a sensible range, but manufacturers refuse to deliver that. all major western car manufacturers are going to be left behind once chinese manufacturers break into western markets and deliver the cars that people actually want to buy.
me gustaria que nos digan por que los coches electricos siguen todavia tan caros. De mi punto de vista es inadmisible que en estos tiempos cuestan tanto dinero. Hay modelos ya bastante...años en el mercado que deberia venderse con 1500 o talvez 2000 euros. Pero .....
This seems great for local driving or for senior citizens that can't drive a regular size car anymore. We do need more bike lanes for the cars that don't go the speed limit. I hope this will put a end to those ugly SUVs.
musy be a old video the solo ios gone recalled . they would npt switch back to the system from g-1 so they could keep g-2-3 on the road they would like to make trucks witch will be harder to get on the road .
But I want a small car with a good range (enough to drive on holiday without stopping to charge) which will be at home in the city AND on the motorway. Our current car (a Picanto turbo, 3.6 metres long) does this, but I can't find an EV of the same size that will do it.
@@automotiveterritory Between 250 to 380 miles usually. We normally drive this in one go without any need to stop and arrive at our destination with plenty of fuel remaining.
The problem is all these downsized evs have very upsize price. Id buy small cheap city runner for everyone in the family than to have a pricy fashion accessory
These EVs are exactly what the world needs right now - small, simple, cost-effective and stylish. 😎

Downsizing is necessary as cars are not always used upto the full capacity.
Which of these did you like the most?
@@automotiveterritory all are my babies
Lol
The problem is these micro vehicles are really overpriced.
Most people, like myself, do not require a large vehicle for or daily work commutes. I would love a small, low requirement EV.
I like city cars it’s compact doesn’t create big space in the road. Perfect for the city.

@@automotiveterritory I got a new one for $18.500
These mini EVs are in high demand in my city, Amsterdam. In my area people buy them in droves.
Some of these cars look like they've forgot the rear part at home. 😂
I really like the Uniti .... Perfect size,speed,range and design.
It's a nice option indeed
In my opinion city cars are the way to go!
I preordered the City Transformer ;)
Awesome! Do you have any information about the estimated delivery of your auto?
@@automotiveterritory as far as I know delivery will start 2024…unfortunately another 2 years of waiting.

My vote is for the WuLing miniEv..I like it's design..
It's a good option too
I really like the Microlino and City One, can see myself driving one of those around the city, City One can even work as a mini work van.
Those are really nice
My favorite cars shown in this video are: Smart Concept 1, City Transformer, Microlino 2.0, and City One.
Great choices!
I'm partial to the Microlino too as I used to drive an Isetta but the other cars I would consider are the Solo and the Aptera. I drive to work and return 30Km each way and as most of my travel is on a 100 kmh speed zoned highway, top speed is a major consideration.
Very interesting video! It’s great to see the possible EV options for urban drivers that are looking for very small EVs. 🚗 ⚡️
Glad you liked it!
Why didn't you mention the Mia 2.0 and the Silence SO4??
Those are really nice suggestions. I looked up the dates and it seems that Silence S04 has been revealed some time after I posted this.
Thanks, missing the most popular EV in China: MiniEV (Wuling) coming to Europe..
It's a nice suggestion. I talked about these in my previous videos, wanted to share some other models for this lineup.
I agree wat we need is affordable small cars but what I do not see is the Renault 5e, favoured to come out in 2024 in UK dealerships with a range of over 150miles.
I really like the city transformer ! I wish this car was the norm in my city. It would not do well in the snow though.
It's a nice one indeed.
That accent is adorable! BTW, I like the YoYo the best!
All this small EVs are great! One problem: when you pulls into tight parallel parking, how do you expect the car infront/back of you to get out?
Thats what I was thinking, just because you can squeeze into a space doesn't mean you should, that ad is stupid.
@@EA-tc6kb Maybe Bay park the parralel into the spot if the car's short enough?
City One is the best by a country mile. All electric vehicles should have removable batteries for quick charging. I love how it has seatting for four people. Perfect for the commuter who sometimes has to car pool their bodies around or drives with friends on the weekend.
love small fast electric cars
Interested in City One Model. Please details of this. Thank you
Which of these are/will be available in the US?
I am leaving links to official websites in the description. Information about local availability could be obtained there.
I do wish videos like this focussed on what is available this year rather than some concepts that are being launched in 2025
I'm surprised at how EXPENSIVE this cars are!! Over $10,000 for a little more than a trike....
Then the MiniEV (Wuling) is for you!
You missed out the Carver
You are right, it's a nice model. But as far as I remember, it is not riding on 4 wheels like these ones. Am I thinking about the right vehicle?
I kind of wish there was EV version of Reliant Robin
Like the smart concept
Nice choice ;)
Hey what about Arcimoto??? They are in production... not like some of these other vehicles.

musy be a old video the solo ios gone recalled . they would npt switch back to the system from g-1 so they could keep g-2-3 on the road they would like to make trucks witch will be harder to get on the road .
True. I should make an updated version of this video. Very few startups have survived the recent years
They all look like toys.
But I want a small car with a good range (enough to drive on holiday without stopping to charge) which will be at home in the city AND on the motorway. Our current car (a Picanto turbo, 3.6 metres long) does this, but I can't find an EV of the same size that will do it.
How long is your holiday trip?
@@automotiveterritory Between 250 to 380 miles usually. We normally drive this in one go without any need to stop and arrive at our destination with plenty of fuel remaining.
Id Life would be an instant buy for 18000k
Hope to see it on the market soon
Their go's our Power Grid
What made you think so? We have an electric car in our family and it consumes less kilowatts than air-con.
The problem is all these downsized evs have very upsize price. Id buy small cheap city runner for everyone in the family than to have a pricy fashion accessory
They are still powered by same batteries (the most expensive components) found in full-size EVs, so the pricing is still there.
Now, in 2023, the prices for these electric cars are much higher than indicated in the video.
Which of the models are you referring to?
@@automotiveterritory XEV global yoyo 16.900€, city transformer 16.000€, Microlino > 20.000€ ...
I want them all 🤭🤭🤭
These are nice indeed
VW I'd life... 👊🤘✌
Is it your favorite of them all?
I hope these cars will be offered here the US. im all for smaller carbon footprints.
Smarts are already in the US. Hopefully other manufacturers will follow.
Cheaper for people to use.
Micro Cars are much different to larger Cars 😊
Hah. Imagine paying 16 grand for an egg shell with 10hp
