The Aptera
Posted by Video finder under at 10:03 pm

This is a car that I'm excited to see produced. I'm always watching trends and the things that are happening in cars which run with alternative power are particularly exciting right now. The Prius was only a baby step forward. Regenerative braking is a technology that was important to get out there and test, but the real gains I think will be in all electric motors and in aerodynamics.

I am extremely impressed with the vision, and depth of thought which the creators of the Aptera put into designing their vehicle. It's going to be sold for $20,000-$30,000usd which is a fraction of the cost of a Tesla Roadster. In the design, they focused intently on safety and simplicity. And they weren't too shy to include lots of technological toys.
