The 300 MPG Aptera

Okay, so I normally wouldn't blog about a car, but 300 miles per gallon? Wow. Have you seen this thing?


It may look a little funny, but this car is as aerodynamic as it gets. It's the Aptera Typ-1 and it's getting a lot of attention. If you're interested in buying one, $500 (they say refundable) will get you on their waiting list. After you buy it, you actually register it as a motorcycle. It has comfortable seating for 2, and comes with everything you'd want in a standard commuter vehicle ... and then some.

Features:
- Fantastic aerodynamics
- Plenty of safety features
- GPS
- Solar powered climate control
- 3 rear cameras
- Reasonable price tag ( < $30,000 US)
- A lot more... (aptera.com/details)

Typ-1e is the fully electric model with a 120 mile range. Type-1h is the plug-in hybrid model. Production for both is scheduled for later this year (California only). Watch the video or check out the Aptera website for some more details.

It will be interesting to see how the Aptera Typ-1 does up against the Tesla Roadster.

I guess the electric car was just napping,
