Aptera Electric Car Claims 300 Miles Per Gallon Fuel Efficiency 6-27-08
Electric car maker Aptera claims that the electric-gasoline hybrid version of
its new Typ-1 vehicle gets 300 miles per gallon. The vehicle will be available
early in 2008 for less than $30,000.
The Typ-1 comes in two versions: fully electric or hybrid. According to Aptera,
the electric model can go 120 miles on single charge, and can be recharged from
any normal 110-volt power outlet. The hybrid can go 600 miles on a full tank,
and either version of can reach top speeds of 95 miles per hour.
The three-wheeled Typ-1 seats two in the front, in addition to a small seat in
back that can fit an infant's car seat. If this back seat is removed, it
converts into cargo space large enough to fit, according to the company, either
15 bags of groceries or two full-sized golf bags.
The Typ-1 has several other features that set it apart from other conventional,
hybrid or electric vehicles. Instead of side mirrors, the car contains embedded
cameras all along the sides and back that transmit to a screen in front of the
instrument panel, displaying a 180-degree rear view. Solar panels built into the
roof power a climate-control system that is always running to keep the interior
temperature from falling too far above or below a certain point.
Safety features in the vehicle include driver and passenger side airbags and a
front-end crumple zone. The car has built-in GPS navigation, a CD/DVD/MP3
player, and XM satellite radio, as well as a USB port that can be used to charge
mobile devices such as laptops or MP3 players. Radio-frequency identification
chips embedded in the key and car make it so the key does not need to be
inserted to open doors or start the engine.
The Typ-1 is available for pre-order on Aptera's web site, for a refundable
deposit of $500. At present, only California residents can order - the company
expects, however, to eventually deliver around the country.
