# Electric Island Vehicles The E-Mehari is an All-Terrain Electric Car Made with a Plastic Body By M | Published 2016-06-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-vehicle References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/3060958/this-tiny-spanish-island-could-be-a-testing-ground-for-an-all-electric-car-future) & [citroen.fr](http://www.citroen.fr/vehicules-neufs/citroen/citroen-e-mehari.html) The E-Mehari is a stylishly eco-friendly car designed to offer exclusively electric motorization with an island vehicle aesthetic. The car features a similar aesthetic to a [Jeep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeep-dune) with an open top and [all-terrain functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-bz-woodland) built for rough ground and versatile driving capabilities. The body of the car is ideal for island driving with a make designed entirely out of plastic. The car operates using [electric power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-etech-electric-prototype) without the need to fill up on gas or fuel. This is ideal for small island settings such as the Balearic Islands where it can be difficult to come across fuelling stations. The structure of the vehicle also helps to reduce emissions and pollution -- both air and noise -- while still allowing consumers to have a quick and efficient way to motor around the land. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Island Vehicles:** Investment opportunities for sustainable island transportation solutions that reduce emissions and integrate electric power. - **All-terrain Plastic Cars:** Innovations allowing for versatile driving capabilities in harsh environments by designing vehicles entirely out of plastic. - **Island-specific Transportation:** Developing small-scale electric cars for island communities with limited access to fuelling stations and a need for eco-friendly transportation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** Opportunities for automakers to develop eco-friendly cars using unique materials and technologies for specific settings and purposes. - **Green Energy Industry:** Advancements in sustainable solutions for electric-powered vehicles and the integration of renewable energy sources. - **Island Tourism Industry:** Innovation in providing eco-friendly transportation options for tourists visiting small islands without the infrastructure for traditional modes of transportation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Open-Air Low-Speed Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-moke.md) - [All-Electric Dune Buggies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manx-20-electric.md) - [Compact Off-Roading Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microlino-ev.md) - [Petite Solar-Powered EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-ev.md) - [Retro Electric Buggies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meyers-manx-ev.md) - [Powerful Electric Off-Road UTVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kilow-la-bagnole.md) - [Electric Exoskeleton Off-Road Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offroad-electric-vehicle.md) - [Accessibility-Promoting Electric Quadricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-quadricycle.md) - [Adventurous Pint-Sized EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opel-rocks-electric-extreme-concept.md)
