      Aptera’s First Steps


      by Andrew McCaskey

      Aptera is one of the first hybrid vehicle manufacturers to get close with a design that’s revolutionary in appearance, if not revolutionary in technology. And with the assist of consumer electronics in the vehicle, it’s utility is going to be expanded well beyond the simple function of transportation.

      The Aptera site implies that the GPS and backup camera, stereo system and the like will be a part of the standard package. I imagine that the market segment that this vehicle targets will demand that as standard equipment.

      At $30,000 this is not the young family starter vehicle – the notion of the child safety seat in the back is going to be as much for Grandparents as for parents.

      This vehicle has Baby Boomer written all over it – a chance to make a statement, save some money on fuel, turn heads, use the HOV lane, and once again – move along on our own terms.

      Now.. if they could just add a heater. That’s a Midwest Deal Killer. And it probably makes the 300mpg go south quickly.
