Pssst! Don’t tell anyone, but a vehicle revolution is here!

On the other hand, spread the word! Let the world know and rejoice that the kind of vehicle people have been demanding since they’ve killed the EV1 (Electric Vehicle One), as is well documented in Who Killed the Electric Car, is finally here.
Is it from Toyota? Honda? Nope. It’s from a small company with big dreams, called Aptera. And I am seriously considering getting one when they start rolling our late next year. Won’t it feel good to send a very clear message to all the other major manufacturers that you’re done with them? Watch how they will suddenly scramble to have their own version. Won’t it feel good to choose between either a full-electric plug-in that gives you 120 miles on a single charge, or the hybrid with ultra efficient gasoline / electric engines extending the driving range to somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 MPG (miles per gallon)?
Yes folks, the future is here. Designed with attention to every details, this incredibly efficient and innovative car has been designed with lessons taken directly from nature. The Aptera is probably the most efficient vehicle on planet Earth. It certainly has the lowest drag of any commercially available vehicle.
Oh and did I forget to mention that a whole lot of interior components are made out of recycled materials and free of heavy metals that are killing you in your current car? Silly me.
Also in keeping with the company’s core values, each store makes use of renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, and is constructed from recycled and sustainable materials.
Intrigued? Check them out and if you;re inspired, talk to them or even reserve yours today!
Welcome to the world of hope and possibilities

Do you have any idea of how much it costs?

All Electric This Aptera is powered exclusively with batteries and will get you around town to the tune of approximately 120 miles depending on your driving conditions. At night you simply plug the Aptera into any standard 110 volt outlet and in just a few hours you will have a fully charged vehicle that will take you another 120 miles. The approximate cost of this option with all the features listed above will be $26,900 usd.
Plug-in Series Hybrid This Aptera is also powered by an electric drive train but it is assisted by a fuel efficient gasoline powered generator which stretches your range significantly. In typical driving you may achieve over 300 miles per gallon and you will have range far beyond any passenger vehicle available today. The approximate cost of this option with all the features listed above will be $29,900 usd.
