The Electra Meccanica proposes a different solution to moving people around with its three-wheeled electric car, the SOLO. The SOLO is built as the ultimate single person people mover, on the premise that the vast majority of trips we take are with a single person in the car.
Musk’s charitable contributions are remarkable and often disregarded.
In this section of our report “The EV Safety Advantage,” we roll through a handful of clear EV safety benefits, which help to explain electric cars’ better performance in the case of accidents and subsequent insurance claims. We also throw in more safety ratings and charts.
CleanTechnica has had the lucky opportunity to review a freakin’ ton of electric vehicles this past year, and many more in previous years. In the article below, you can find links to most of the reviews as well as short snippets about the vehicles (and a few other products).
Earlier this year, we published a free report on EV safety, The EV Safety Advantage. As we approach the end of the year, we’re publishing sections of that report as articles here on CleanTechnica.

There’s so much cleantech news to cover that we generally have hundreds of stories on our “story sheet” that we’re never able to cover. In the coming days, we’ll be rolling out a couple of strategies to help deal with our backlog. Yep, this #NewsParty format is one of those.
Porsche this week let slip a few details about its upcoming electric car, the Taycan. It will have three trims starting at about $92,000 and going up to well over $130,000. Those prices are pretty much in line with those for the Tesla Model S and Model X.
