Its 82 hp (61 kW) synchronous electric motor produces 174 newton metres (128 lb⋅ft) of torque from a standstill.[7] The SOLO received the Automotive Innovation Award at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show. Deliveries to Canada and the US began in May 2018[8] at a price of C$19,900 or US$15,500.

In 2017, at the Vancouver Auto Show, ElectraMeccanica announced the Tofino, a two-seater electric car designed to look similar to Italian-made vehicles of the 1960s.[9] (As of December 2018), the company stated plans to begin production of the car in 2020, at a cost of $50,000,[10] the Tofino had 40,000 pre-orders as of November 2018.[11]Template:Updateafter
