Eli teases the launch of a much faster electric microcar

Eli Electric Vehicles is getting ready to reveal a new version of its tiny electric microcar, and this one could expand its usefulness beyond the slow lane.

In an Instagram teaser ahead of EICMA in Milan, the company announced the upcoming Eli ZERO MX, describing it as a new L7e vehicle joining its lineup. Eli also teased a special Race Edition, with promotional artwork showing a dark, sporty-looking ZERO with red accents and a visibly open-sided cabin.

The teaser doesn’t give us much to go on in terms of hard and fast details, but the L7e designation is the biggest clue here.

The familiar European Eli ZERO that we test-drove a few years ago is an L6e light quadricycle, with a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). Its compact two-seat layout makes it an appealing urban runabout, though that speed ceiling limits its usefulness on faster roads. But L7e vehicles can typically travel at speeds of up to 80-90 km/h (50-56 mph).

A faster version could make the little EV practical for considerably more trips. And there’s already a tantalizing hint: Eli’s Italian website lists an L7e ZERO capable of 85 km/h (53 mph), with a claimed range of up to 200 km (124 miles). Whether those specifications directly describe the upcoming ZERO MX remains unconfirmed by the teaser.

If they do, that would suggest a much more versatile commuter while retaining the tiny footprint that makes these vehicles so easy to park.
