The Eli ZERO: A Revolutionary Electric Microcar for Modern Commuting

The Eli ZERO, first introduced at CES 2017, has consistently impressed with its compact yet functional design. Despite its small size, the electric microcar boasts transparent glass doors for clear cabin visibility and a spacious trunk capable of accommodating two pieces of hand luggage, groceries, and even a bulky gym bag. Eli Electric Vehicles has recently opened reservations for the electric microcar in the US, with expected availability starting in the third quarter of 2024.

A Car That’s 50% Smaller Than a Mini

The Eli ZERO is designed for agility and ease of use, with a straightforward three-gear setting and a dual-AC system that warms or cools the cabin depending on the season. The electric microcar features Bluetooth-ready speakers for music and a digital display for real-time driving information, which can be upgraded to an optional SONY infotainment system with a 10.1-inch HD screen. The interior is equipped with ample legroom and vegan leather seats, making it a comfortable ride for both the driver and passenger.

Advanced Safety Features

The Eli ZERO is equipped with advanced safety features, including power-assisted steering, anti-lock braking system, hydraulic electric-powered and -assisted disc brakes, and radar parking sensors that detect objects around the vehicle. The electric microcar also features a rear-view camera with a warning system for backing up, LED headlights and indicators for improved visibility, and a high-torque engine for smooth acceleration.

Long Lifespan and Efficient Charging

The Eli ZERO’s Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery contributes to its long lifespan, and its Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) manages and stores energy from the battery. The electric microcar can travel up to 90 miles on a single charge, making it suitable for urban commuting and short trips, and can extend its range using regenerative braking. The vehicle can be charged from a 220 or 240V outlet in 2 to 4 hours, or from a standard 120V outlet, although this may take longer. With a starting price of $11,990, the Eli ZERO offers an affordable and eco-friendly option for modern commuters.

Reservations Open for the US Market

Eli Electric Vehicles is currently accepting reservations for the Eli ZERO in the US, with availability expected to vary by state or city and the order in which reservations are received. Once the vehicle is ready for purchase, an authorized dealer will contact the customer to configure it with available options and finalize the order.
