ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) (“ElectraMeccanica”
or the "Company"), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles
revolutionizing the urban driving experience, today announced the
Company has delivered a total of 20
SOLO EVs to 15
fleet and commercial customers since deliveries began in October
2021. Year-to-date for 2022, the Company has delivered a total of
20
SOLO EVs to reservation and fleet holders as of
January 31, 2022.
Kevin Pavlov, CEO of ElectraMeccanica commented,
“We continue to focus on deliveries to our fleet and commercial
customers, representing a broad spectrum of industries and
organizations looking for a right-sized sustainable solution. As of
February 6, we have delivered 20 SOLO EV vehicles
to commercial fleet customers, with more in the queue. Early
reservation customers who are current vehicle operators are
reporting on the advantages and benefits of utilizing
SOLO EVs in their operations, including Skechers
USA, Faction Technology, Cyber Yogurt and Ruby’s Diner.
“Recent deliveries to Which Wich, UC Berkeley,
the City of Mesa, Ross Painting, Maria Villareal Real Estate,
Medcenta Pharmacy and Vortex Mental Health are validating how the
SOLO EV can optimize and right-size fleets for
today’s urban environment. With the upcoming roll-out of the
SOLO Cargo model featuring an expanded cargo box,
we expect commercial interest from an even broader audience and for
sales to continue to ramp – particularly in urban delivery
applications,” Pavlov concluded.
Michael Fujita, Fleet Supervisor for UC Berkely
Facilities Services said, “UC Berkeley Facilities Services is
excited to utilize our newest fleet purchase of 3 SOLO vehicles.
The ability to use these to go to and from campus will help greatly
with our Carbon Neutrality Plan to reduce Cal's carbon footprint.
Using the SOLO instead of a full-size pickup truck will not only be
more "Green" but also easier to navigate throughout the campus. We
look forward to a productive future with ElectraMeccanica!”
On the delivery of their SOLO EV, Nancy Hormann,
President & Executive Director of the Downtown Mesa
Association, City of Mesa, stated, “Having the very first SOLO in
Arizona delivered to Downtown Mesa has been a great experience.
Using the car as our Parking Compliance vehicle has been met with
great enthusiasm. The compact design of the car is great for
helping our compliance officer navigate tight spaces in the garages
as well as cutting patrol time in half. The curiosity demonstrated
by our Downtown patrons has made the car a great conversation
starter. The technology we were able to easily install in the SOLO
is the perfect complement to our “Smart City” designation.”
