Aptera Electric Car

LOL at Cinema.....

It IS a little weird looking.....

Speaking of alternative vehicles, I'm still looking for that 3 wheeler that was featured on the discovery channel program: daily planet.

If anyone knows the name or can provide a link, it'd be appreciated. It was a single seater that ran on a small mazda engine (2 litre?) and the "neat" thing that made it special is that the front steering wheels tilted when it cornered which allowed it to corner at speed.....

YMMV

Seriously though, its a great little "car" for city people
i figured it would depend on the chick's weight
 
Seriously though, that's one fugly car......I wouldn't drive one if you paid me to...(ok, if you paid me $100.00 per kilometer I would)
 
looks neat and if I could do 500 miles on a charge I would consider it.
 
I read somewhere today that Suzuki has an electric car that will be for sale soon as well
 
That one seems Very Light Duty

I like to hear from an owner of a SUV hybrid what they are like on maintenance and other owning and operating and parts costs

i.e. Saturn, escape and what ever is available in a domestic

nice to see they are getting put back on the market, electric cars i mean.

recently watched who killed the electric car and i was shocked and horrified to hear about how they had been put on the market and then taken off despite their success and consumer demand.

and yes it would be a chick magnet. :D
Way back in the mid to late fifties, there were Willys electric trucks delivering Silverwood's milk in Toronto. Silverwood's had their dary plant right around where the condos and town homes are near Casa Loma. It seems that an old idea has re-surfaced.

I think its cool looking


Yeah....but you also drink a lot.....;)


Beer goggles just doesn't apply to girls in bars.....
 
Question is will it be competitively priced?

Also it doesn't make much sense to have an electric car if the electricity comes from coal burning stations that still pollute the environment.
