Green flavored eye candy for the road

Isn't that a beautiful 100%-electric-powered mobile? It's called the Aptera 2e. The slick aerodynamic body and 3-wheel whip is destine to capture everyone's eyes. Ok, maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea(you 4 wheelers), but it sure is mine. Jay Leno's, too. So he's a car fanatic and he has...

done an interview with Paul Wilbur, the president and CEO of Aptera, for some detailed specs of the vehicle. The basic info comes down to this:

The solar panels you see on the roof can actually gather enough power to vent out the hot air from the interior and cool down the car while you park it outdoor(Ownage to all the vehicles out there).

The car is 1,500 pounds and a coefficient of drag of just 0.15(A.K.A. breaks wind like no other, literally).

The electric motor offers up 60 lb-ft of torque.
The lithium ion phosphate battery pack has a capacity of 10-13 kWh.

Rear back up camera available. DVD navigation system. Interior made from recycled material(Just green all the way). iPod/Phone capable, of course.


Coming right at cha.


I might miss a few things, feel free to hear what Jay Leno has to say about it:
