(CNN)Americans have long had a love affair with big SUVs that can carry more people and stuff than they usually need to transport and go much further than most of us drive in a day.

Driven: The ElectraMeccanica Solo EV Is Tiny, But How Much Car Do You Really Need Anyway?
“Ultra-small vehicles are beginning to hit the market, raising the question: How much car do you really need? If it’s just you and only you that needs to get to work, school or run those errands, do you really require a seven-seat SUV, a minivan, a sedan or even a Smartcar-sized machine? Around the world, many urban dwellers get by with a motorcycle, scooter or even a bicycle (such as here in Portland), while others still need (or want) just a bit more space, safety or convenience. I’ve written repeatedly ..read more

Ben Hoyle, Los Angeles – thetimes.co.uk
The bubble car is about to make another bid for credibility, beginning in Los Angeles where stars are born, fads take o and public transport is, crucially, an afterthought.
There have been many doomed attempts since the 1950s to convince the motoring public that the urban vehicle of the future might actually be some sort of three- wheeled car for one.
Now the Canadian manufacturer ElectraMeccanica believes that its tiny single- seater can succeed where the German Messerschmitt KR200, the British Sinclair C5 and the American Corbin Sparrow all failed.
