The Squad Solar is a compact electric vehicle designed for urban use, classified as a neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV). It features a rooftop solar panel that supplements battery charging, and can also be recharged via a standard electrical outlet. The vehicle is manufactured by Squad Mobility BV based in the Netherlands which was founded by Robert Hoevers and Chris Klok that previously worked at Lightyear.[4] It is set to start production for the EU market in 2025, and sales in the US starting in 2025.[5][6]

The solar roof can add up to 21–30 kilometers (13–19 miles) per day of range. The manufacturer is creating an L6 and L7 version in Europe that goes 45 km/h (28 mph) and 70 km/h (43 mph). The efficiency is up to 19 kilometers (12 miles) per kWh, making it more than 3 times as efficient as the Tesla cars available in 2023.[1] The price starts at €6,250 Euros and charges extra for removable doors, air conditioning, heating and added batteries.[7] In the L6 version only a moped licence is needed to operate and is popular among teens because the age to drive a regular car in Europe is 18 years old.[8]
We are seeing a tremendous interest from the USA, specifically for markets such as sharing platforms, gated communities, campuses, (seaside) resorts, tourism, company terrains, hotels & resorts, amusement parks, and inner-city services.[9]
