Aptera Type 1: 300 MPG

I am not a green fanatic, but I do like things that work! I found this on the Futurist blog and thought that it was a cool and hopeful sign of things to come. It sure beats paying the king's ransom for a tank of gas!

Aptera already has an all-electric car due for late 2008 that is priced at just $27,000, while delivering the equivalent of between 200 and 330 mpg. The fact that the vehicle has just three wheels may reduce mainstream appeal to some degree, but the futuristic appearance of the car will attract others. The simultaneous use of Nanosolar's solar panels with the all-electric cars from Aptera may enable automotive driving to be powered by solar generated electricity for the average single-family household. The combination of these two technologies would be the best way of getting off of oil and onto fully renewable energy for cars.
