Three of them can fit into one traditional parking space.
Netherlands-based Squad Mobility has officially launched the SQUAD Solar City Car, after three years of development. It's a solar vehicle that could provide strong competition for the e-scooter as a highly accessible urban mobility vehicle.
The SQUAD Solar City Car is a two-seater solar electric vehicle with a footprint of only 2.4 m², meaning three SQUAD cars can fit into one traditional parking spot. In a number of EU countries, it can be driven without a driver's license.told IE in an interview. "We have put a lot of emphasis on safety," he said. "We actually did a lot more engineering on safety than legally required in this class. We have implemented a full front and rear crash structure and roll cage."Another benefit of the SQUAD car is the fact that it can recharge almost anywhere. Left on a sunny parking spot for long enough, it will recharge solely using the solar panels on its roof — charging up to 12.4 miles of range per day, depending on weather conditions.
It's an ideal early implementation of solar electric vehicle technology as the lightweight vehicle is designed for short rides that don't require a huge amount of electricity.Due to its capacity for shared mobility — riders will be able to use the SQUAD car for short periods via an app — it will also allow many people to see what solar is capable of without needing to commit to buying a car.
"A sharing platform can have the function of a 'live showroom' where consumers can test drive the Squad," Hoevers explained to IE."On the pre-order side it is mainly private owners and on the B2B side, it is mainly fleet and sharing platforms. I expect it to be around 50-50 in the short term."
