All innovations directed towards alternative and renewable energy fascinates me more because they serve two purposes in one. Petrol/Diesel Cars are not gone yet but cars like Aptera 2e, the all electric car, are here to make a difference. In this age of global warming and green house gases, the Aptera 2e is really a bliss with its electric engine. The Aptera 2e is selected to join the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE competition though Aptera has launched this vehicle for normal people who daily travel an average distance of about 40 miles and it can be charged overnight. Let’s look at some of its head turning features.

What’s More?

  1. With its awesome aerodynamic design it has record breaking low drag coefficient of just 0.15, it is one step ahead of other cars for being the most energy effcient car.
  2. Aptera claims that it will cost only about $0.50 for 100 miles ride.
