Affordable EVs: The Future Is Now

Check out the Aptera, developed by off-duty robotics engineer Steve Fambro in his spare time. Currently in working prototype form, it'll be available as both an all-electric vehicle that'll run 120 miles on a charge, and a gas-electric hybrid that gets 300 mpg. A solar roof strip provides auxiliary charge to the battery and air-conditioning system, it seats two comfortably in its cockpit, and it'll supposedly be able to keep up with highway traffic. The Aptera is also designed to be abnormally safe for a low-slung three-wheeler, with an F1-inspired safety cage, 45-inch front crush zone, and wide, stable stance. The really incredible thing is that the Aptera is reported to be available later this year?at a retail price of $30K. Read more at msn.
