Eli Opens Reservations for its Micro-EV in the US

Eli Electric Vehicles (Eli), an electric vehicle company that says it is "carving out a new category of high-tech, efficient and sustainable micro-EVs," announced it opened reservations for its flagship vehicle, Eli ZERO, in the U.S.

The Eli ZERO will enter the U.S. market as a street-legal micro-EV designed to make commutes easier while reducing traffic congestion, inefficiency and pollution caused by large highway vehicles. Eli’s expansion in the U.S. is built on its success in Europe and French Polynesia where hundreds of vehicles have been sold and are being used for personal transportation, eco-tourism and government fleets, according to Eli.
