BOSTON, Feb. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- There is a need to scrap the "highway-centric" model of urban development and prioritize the ease and convenience of local trips. Most car trips are short trips carrying just one person. Most of the energy is wasted on carrying the vehicle's own weight. Oversized vehicles are the root cause of urban congestion, pollution, waste of energy, material, and public space. As cities everywhere move toward a high-density, low-speed, low-impact model, it calls for a new type of personal vehicle to be created for people to get around conveniently. Microcars are one solution.

Key Points: 
  • Oversized vehicles are the root cause of urban congestion, pollution, waste of energy, material, and public space.
  • The IDTechEx report, " Micro EVs 2023-2043: Electric Two-Wheelers, Three-Wheelers, and Microcars ", benchmarks over 25 models of microcars from various countries on key metrics like motor power, battery capacity, and range.
  • IDTechEx sees microcars fitting in between electric cars and electric mopeds on the mobility spectrum.
  • The IDTechEx report includes microcars from various OEMs and startups, along with market shares for key regions.
