This electric vehicle has been announced quite some time ago, and this month (October 2008) is when production is scheduled to begin for the all-electric version of Aptera Typ-1. As of right now it is available for reservations.
Tree wheels, 2+1 seats and a very aerodynamic body, as you can see on the picture.
120 miles range on single charge, 0 to 60 mph in 10 seconds and top speed exceeds 80 mph.
I can imagine it’s not as stable as a car, but definitely looks more stable and safer then a 3 wheeled motorcycle. Aptera is actually classified as a motorcycle due to its light weight and lack of fourth wheel. One of the downsides to it not being a car is that it won’t get government tax breaks like electric cars and plugin hybrids get.
I think it’s a good option for a daily commuter. It looks cool, relatively large trunk and there is a child seat behind the front row.
The price tag is $27,000. Believe it or not, it’s actually more reasonable then most other manufacturers of electric cars today.
