Aptera Launches in Carlsbad
With gas prices soaring, Aptera (Greek for “wingless flight”) couldn’t pick a better time to launch a gasless vehicle. The Carlsbad automotive company has built an electric 3-wheel futuristic conveyance (the Aptera Typ-1) that reports to drive 120 miles on a single battery charge.
This “enclosed motorcycle” is charged by plugging it in for 2-4 hours. It can reach speeds exceeding 85 mph, and goes from 0-60 mph in under 10 seconds, which means that it can be driven on the freeway.
Although not yet available on the market, the Aptera Typ-1 has been priced between $26,000 and $29,000, and production is due to start later this year. Consumers are already putting up $500 deposits to get on the waiting list. Reservations are currently available only to residents of California, however, in order to allow Aptera to better handle customer service after the initial launch. They have plans to expand availability across the country region by region, along with local service centers.
Tomorrow, I’ll tell you about their gasoline hybrid!
