One of my bigger mistakes: Putting a deposit down on an Elio
Posted By RichC on March 12, 2026
A couple of months ago, I spotted an “Elio Engine Development” photo and thought it might make for a good ThrowBack Thursday #TBT post.
I still wish Elio Motors would have been a successful company … but suspect the developing EV industry competed with this small tandem seat, high-efficiency ICE vehicle about the time Paul Elio was raising capital.
Still, the company could have been far more communicative with those of us who put deposits down and “thought” we were helping a small startup company? This would have been a fun “toy” car. 😉
