On Tuesday, electric light-duty vehicle startup AEV Technologies announced a new line of three-wheeled vehicles aimed at alleviating transportation issues in high-traffic areas.
The Texas-based company said that the vehicle, AEV 311, is street-legal, features two in-line seats, and can travel as fast as 50 mph. More importantly, officials said it is cost-effective, emission-free, and can be easily driven and parked in crowded areas. The vehicle can be charged in six to eight hours using a regular 110V/20A outlet.
AEV said the vehicles could serve crowded urban neighborhoods, college campuses, and other residential or business complexes, as well as last-mile package and food delivery.
Rod Keller, the company’s chief executive officer, called the 311 a “tremendous opportunity for environmentally conscious consumers, as well as public and private organizations seeking new cost-effective, clean-energy fleet alternatives.”
The company, based in Round Rock, Texas, also produces an electric 4×4 and an electric utility vehicle with a flatbed.
