I am not a fan of three wheels, and the safety standards look like they need some serious work. I wouldn't buy any vehicle that doesn't have 5 seats. And the 250lbs of carrying capacity is pathetic.
@adsabine1 That 250 lbs carrying capacity is exactly double what the allowable trunk weight of my old 03 Neon had. Before you dismiss the cargo capacity, take a closer look at some regular vehicles. You will likely find that we regularly overload them without realizing it. As far as safety standards go, you must have missed the part when they said it was classed as a motorcycle...it has a little more safety protection than my V-Star. Cheers!
@Premair Like most small cars like yours or a Civic, the max load is aprox. 880lbs, so four 200lbs adults and one 80lbs kid then there is no extra carrying ability, so leave your lunch pail at home with this load, Back to this car, I must give them credit for trying to make a positive difference, I am just not a fan of 3 wheelers because I don't believe that they are stable. And yes this would be safer than a motorcycle, but as a car it wouldn't pass any crash tests.
Too bad they're making a gasoline version. We need to get away from gas completely. It's destroying our planet, sending us to the poor house and helping evil countries (such as in the middle east.)
Sadly because it's a 3 wheeler, in my area it would be classed as a motorcycle, and hence by law I'd have to wear a helmet. Yes, even inside the canopy.
There'd have to be a change in the law to allow for 3 wheeled vehicles that comply with automobile safety standards.

@heartlessvietboy yeah, its called a hybrid. you dont have to charge it, you just need to fill it up with gas :p. if you believe in those outlandish stories about cars that need no energy input, keep your opinnions to yourself
OMG!!! Wheels spinning to get electricity is the easiest thing anybody can think of!!!!! We must do something about it!!! Don't Listen to bull crap!!!!

Well the gasoline version would still be very fuel efficient due to the low drag and weight. + there's no recharge time, and it will quite probably be more powerful.
I hope that this electric car, (or the hybrid version) will see the light of day. Unlike the EV1 which has been so successfully suppressed. I will keep on eye on this car until it is realised on the global market.
The electric version goes 100 "mpg" while the hybrid does 300 mpg. And it's easier to fill a car with gas than with electricity if you're travelling long distances.
I live in sweden and would find it slightly annoying to have to find a socket to plug in my car when I'm halfway to my destination. The gasoline version would allow me to stop at the nearest gas station, it's a mixture of laziness and convenience I guess.
@gringodeltoro1 well you live in the UK while I live in Romania trust me we have long distances here and since the EU is expanding and legal isues are becoming non-existened, when it comes to going abroad, WE DO HAVA LONG DISTANCES IN EUROPE since all you need is car to get from Romania to France. Or thousands of miles aren't long distances for you?
bro it's not even half the weight of a regular car :) with the junk :P and the Dc (drag coefficient) is .015 lower than world record EV1 which is .24. Pretty good I'd say xD
@tiger2hunt4me Privately yes, but think about the social cost of everyone driving SUVs. Greenhouse gas clean up is part of the price of owning a car, as a tax paying citizen.
it can say how far you can go one way or round trip? 100 miles on chagre? Who needs that except for old ladies who only go to the grocery store once a week?
lol who drives over 100 miles everyday? Are you a trucker? The average driver only drives less than 30 miles a day. 100 miles to a 45 minute charge should be enough for the majority of the population.
Can You PLEASE get it to production? Next year Gas will be $5.00 and above for gallon, this thing need be in mass production and getting ready for next year reality of Gas price.
Actually, we are running low on fossil fuel. Oil to be specific. Oil is not some unlimited resource that humans can keep drawing out of the Earth without end. We have already drawn the highest amount of oil out of Earth that we will ever be able to remove - per year. From now on...oil production is going to decrease each year.
FYI, As statistics and graphing shows, we have PLENTY left, we will have all we can throw away and guzzle for the next century, so if you ask me, we really aren't running low on fossil fuel. The fact that right now we have SO much bottled up that oil companies are having trouble getting rid of them, says enough, or you can just look at the geographical analysis, or any other statistic on how much oil we have left. Let's just say, we won't run out in our life time, not even close.
Doubtful IMO. the Goverment basically owns the Chevrolet Volt, they funded 60-70% of it's development, it's pretty clear they want it here. So if their plan was to up gas, and to reduce debt, why would they be pushing the highly efficient vehicles out on us so much?
in the end when he closes the door and drives off he proly jsut drove a few ft away fro mwhere he was lol make it look gud to drive away but he only prolyl drove a few ft lol
If everybody had this in Los Angeles, surely put an end 2 much of the air pollution & smog in turn ppol woudnt mind driving in traffic in comparison 2 b4 since atlst they'll breathe in much fresher air[even better 4 those who drive convertibles]
Electic car run on the energy of mostly oil coal and gas too. They just use that energy alot less efficiently than a normal car that has been fine tuned for over 100 years for fuel efficiency.
Electic cars are doomed to fail. Its biodiesil and hydrogen fuel cells that are the way forward. The biggest step is not with cars but with the powerstations anyway. Cos its the powerstations that will be feeding the cars of the future. I hope they will be hydrogen cars too.
i like your ride a lot better than the goverment motors(GM)chevy volt.who wants to pay 40 grand for something that makes a pinto look like a caddy?your ride is so cool.
the world needs more people like you and less people that throw sticks at people like you.
have you seen the lincvolt neil young is working on?its on youtube check it out.
many thanks to you and people like you for trying to make the world a better cleaner place.
Ford, GM or Chrysler could have built something like this 10-20 yrs ago, with electric 100 mile range or hybrid 150-300 mpg. They didn't because oil companies are a corporate monopoly w/ major influence on political and domestic policies to protect their moneyed interest, as well as major colluding influence thruout the auto & truck industry. US autos are less than 50% as economical & energy-efficient as EU cars. GM crushed their 600+ fleet of well-recieved EV-1 electric cars after only 3 years!
You got to be shittin all these companies you mentioned are dumb as shit.. These 3 giants are all frkn broke they are fuckin done. These retards are still making big as huge trucks that go 5 miles per fuckin gallon they are one of the biggest reasons our economy is this bad. India China and Russia all have surpassed usa in military powoer not to mention Chinas economy.
Cool concept. Unfortunately, at the current prices, only a small segment of the population will be able to afford them. As usual, only those with plenty of money can afford stuff that helps to save money :-p
Aptera...you need to build that thing for about $14k if you ever plan on it being a legitimate auto option. Especially when I saw advertised, a Chevrolet Aveo, brand new, $6300 with rebates.
i agree its well over priced concidering its just a shell with an industrial drill motor in it , id rather get a lotus and put a drill motor in that but why would i want to rip out a mechanical masterpiece of genius that has built up its respect over the decades for a sewing machine?? cars started from rock bottom $100 the electric car will need to do the same if its to have a chance it cant just jump into the deep end, if i buy this car how much can it be resold for? worth nothing
He talked about the all electric version. The hybrid gets 300MPG on the first gallon and drops to 120MPG as the batteries go low and the gas motor has to kick in more often
tru we just gotta kill off the human race,then the world can repair it self,trees start growing,wildlife etc and the reversal is complete this can only be implemented without the impact of the virus (us).
The concept is nothing new..100 miles between charges highlights the on going problem storage capacity and range. Until some form of viable micro storage capacity or fuel cell is available its all Mickey mouse...
Nice. But the price is too much for the masses. get the cost down and sell more.

it can say how far you can go one way or round trip? 100 miles on chagre? Who needs that except for old ladies who only go to the grocery store once a week?
knockoutmaniac 2 years ago
lol who drives over 100 miles everyday? Are you a trucker? The average driver only drives less than 30 miles a day. 100 miles to a 45 minute charge should be enough for the majority of the population.

And you know this how? We are not running low on fossil fuel, those prices are upped, and decreased, by analysts, and the market. Wicked car though.
ShityThePirate 2 years ago
Actually, we are running low on fossil fuel. Oil to be specific. Oil is not some unlimited resource that humans can keep drawing out of the Earth without end. We have already drawn the highest amount of oil out of Earth that we will ever be able to remove - per year. From now on...oil production is going to decrease each year.
Spaceisneat 2 years ago
FYI, As statistics and graphing shows, we have PLENTY left, we will have all we can throw away and guzzle for the next century, so if you ask me, we really aren't running low on fossil fuel. The fact that right now we have SO much bottled up that oil companies are having trouble getting rid of them, says enough, or you can just look at the geographical analysis, or any other statistic on how much oil we have left. Let's just say, we won't run out in our life time, not even close.

prolly not ,however they will pile on loads of greed to get it to us... mostly to pay gov
debt that we couln't aford long ,long ago.
silverbird58 2 years ago
Doubtful IMO. the Goverment basically owns the Chevrolet Volt, they funded 60-70% of it's development, it's pretty clear they want it here. So if their plan was to up gas, and to reduce debt, why would they be pushing the highly efficient vehicles out on us so much?

Still too pricey for the masses but hopefully if enough people adopt these cars they will cost less. Rollover could be an issue.

it has to be at least a slight bit gradual.
for a paradigm shift to happen, its not going to be over night.
if an electric car looked the same as normal cars than it would almost be fooling the consumer.

Electic car run on the energy of mostly oil coal and gas too. They just use that energy alot less efficiently than a normal car that has been fine tuned for over 100 years for fuel efficiency.
Electic cars are doomed to fail. Its biodiesil and hydrogen fuel cells that are the way forward. The biggest step is not with cars but with the powerstations anyway. Cos its the powerstations that will be feeding the cars of the future. I hope they will be hydrogen cars too.

Ford, GM or Chrysler could have built something like this 10-20 yrs ago, with electric 100 mile range or hybrid 150-300 mpg. They didn't because oil companies are a corporate monopoly w/ major influence on political and domestic policies to protect their moneyed interest, as well as major colluding influence thruout the auto & truck industry. US autos are less than 50% as economical & energy-efficient as EU cars. GM crushed their 600+ fleet of well-recieved EV-1 electric cars after only 3 years!

Aptera...you need to build that thing for about $14k if you ever plan on it being a legitimate auto option. Especially when I saw advertised, a Chevrolet Aveo, brand new, $6300 with rebates.

i agree its well over priced concidering its just a shell with an industrial drill motor in it , id rather get a lotus and put a drill motor in that but why would i want to rip out a mechanical masterpiece of genius that has built up its respect over the decades for a sewing machine?? cars started from rock bottom $100 the electric car will need to do the same if its to have a chance it cant just jump into the deep end, if i buy this car how much can it be resold for? worth nothing

He talked about the all electric version. The hybrid gets 300MPG on the first gallon and drops to 120MPG as the batteries go low and the gas motor has to kick in more often
