No mere Metro, but a Solectria Force: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solectria_Force Converted to battery power from new by Solectria Corporation of Massachusetts; about 400 were made in the mid to late '90s. This car has the correct 'Force' script decal on the front door below the rub strip. |

Too bad this is only a photo of one. First one on the site though! |

I actually own one of these, it is a 1994 Solectria Force 2-door hatchback. |

Is the same body of the Suzuki Swift? |

I think it might have the body of the Suzuki Cultus. I might be wrong though. -- Last edit: 2021-02-24 21:30:50 |

pretty much even closer would be Geo Metro/Pontiac Firefly for the headlight Cultus was named Swift in USA/Canada ( assuming we're talking about the Swift i'm thinking about .. ) -- Last edit: 2021-02-24 21:33:47 |

Mine was assembled in Ingersoll, by CAMI Automotive. -- Last edit: 2021-02-24 22:42:31 |

same place from where Metro/Firefly/Swift came .. came out and bought as Metro by Solectria then converted i presume.. if so i wonder what Solectria was doing with the mechanical parts.. selling them away ? -- Last edit: 2021-02-24 23:10:11 |

I believe they rather bought the chassis+body package withouth parts, or at least usually who converts ICE cars into EVs does this way |
