Squad Mobility is founded by Robert Hoevers and Chris Klok, two ex-Lightyear employees who share a desire to develop an affordable solar car for a large group of consumers. Together they have more than 40 years of experience in mobility, varying from scooters to motorcycles, FIA Formula E, solar cars and even flying cars. The Squad is a 45 km/h, 2-person solar car for daily (sub)urban mobility. The Squad (Solar Quad) is already available for pre-orders. Retail price starts at around € 5750 (ex. VAT). The Squad can charge up to 20 km per day. The average micro car drives around 12 km per day. Extra range can be charged via regular power sockets or indoors with the portable and exchangeable batteries. The Squad will be homologated in the L6e category, light 4-wheeled vehicles. A more powerful 80 km/h L7 category version will also be offered later. The Squad offers space for two passengers sitting side by side, and a storage compartment in the back. It combines the practicality of a scooter and the ease of driving a small car. A full roll cage with seat belts and 4-wheel stability offer safety for all passengers. A Squad has a foot print of only 2 m2. Therefore, 4 Squads can be parked crosswise in one car parking space. There are interesting cost and tax benefits in this segment. For example, there is no congestion charge, no road tax, no parking fees, low insurance fees and no car driving license needed in most markets. The Squad is specifically developed for sharing platforms. Shared mobility users need easy access, intuitive operation and a safe, stable ride. Cities are looking for the smallest space footprint and zero emissions. Sharing platform operators appreciate the modest investment, the automatic solar charging, exchangeable batteries and high durability of the Squad. Subscription and/or lease models will be offered next year with a target lease price of around €100 per month. Deliveries will start in the last quarter of 2021 in the EU.
