The Squad Solar is a neighborhood electric vehicle or microcar that has a solar panel on top to make it a solar car. The vehicle can also be plugged into a regular outlet to be powered by the grid. 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.[7] The price starts at €6,250 Euros and charges extra for removable doors, air conditioning, heating and added batteries.[8] 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.[9]

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.[10]
