Eli Electric Vehicles, based in Los Angeles, will introduce its Zero electric micro-car in the US later this year. The tiny two-seater city car will be available starting at $11,990.

The Eli Zero measures only 88.6 x 54.3 x 64.4 inches (2,250 x 1,379 x 1,635 mm), boasting a tight turning circle of 23 feet (7 meters), and occupies only a fraction of a standard parking space

The Zero features a 6-kW rear-wheel-drive electric motor with two drive modes, reaching a maximum speed of 25 mph (40 km/h). While not meant for highways, it's ideal for urban commuting, gated communities, campuses, and tourism. You can choose between two battery options: an 8-kWh pack for up to 60 miles (~95 km) per charge or a 12-kWh pack for an additional 30 miles.

Completing the main features, the Eli Zero offers 5.65 cubic feet (160 liters) of trunk space, suitable for "two carry-ons, groceries, or a gym bag." Additionally, it includes a built-in audio alert to alert pedestrians of its approach. The Eli Zero will be available for general sale through local distributors and dealers across the US starting in Q3 this year, priced from $11,990.
