The SOLO, the commuter vehicle for the masses
The Company’s goal
is to produce
affordable and
sustainable transport
by creating a
compelling mass
market product, the
SOLO, shifting the
urban commute to
becoming more
efficient, green, and
cost-effective.
The next generation of advanced electric vehicles
INTRODUCTION
Electra Meccanica is a Canadian-based designer and
manufacturer of the SOLO, an electric single passenger
vehicle, developed to revolutionize the way people commute.
The Company not only capitalizes on the growing demand for
non-polluting clean vehicles but also fills a void in the
marketplace not currently addressed by other electric car
companies.
Electra Meccanica is unleashing the proven potential of
electric vehicles (EVs) to a mass consumer, at a price point
that is affordable to every day commuters.
DEMYSTIFYING ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Tesla has already changed the way we think about the future of
energy and transportation
• No longer a question of why an EV – now a question
of how to deliver cheaper EVs to the masses.
• Tesla has already stated that “a lower cost vehicle
than the Model 3 is unlikely”, leaving the door open
for new companies like Electra Meccanica to fill the
void.
• Sustainability no longer a buzzword – it matters to
people, organizations, corporations and
governments.
Electra Meccanica is poised
to fill the void for single
passenger vehicles
• And the faster we achieve sustainability, the better is
it for us all.
MASSIVE GROWTH OF EVs
• 75% year-over-year growth
• Quebec and Ontario showed
accelerated sales, while BC
had the most notable jump
• BC is the EV leader on a percapita basis
• Quebec is the national leader
in total vehicles sold -nearly
10,000
• Quebec plans to make it
mandatory to install 240-volt
circuits in all newly built homes
• 1 out of 3 EVs sold in the US
• Last year EV sales grew by
about 60% worldwide

BATTERIES
What we can expect during the early adopter period
High cost of batteries, shorter drives
• Battery lifespan and battery
tech is rapidly growing
• Battery prices are already
falling and are expected to
drive the demand for EVs
• Through 2030, battery packs
will require less than 1% of
the known reserves of
lithium, nickel, manganese,
and copper and 4% of the
world’s cobalt
• After 2030, new battery
chemistries will probably
shift to other source
materials, making packs
lighter, smaller, and cheaper
