Aptera 2e Electric Car Gets Delayed Aptera 2e Electric Vehicle to Enter Production Only in 2010

Are you ready for an electric vehicle in your life? If you re not
interested that much in the Tesla, although they do have some pretty
interesting models, you can always go for an Aptera 2e. The car looks
like an airplane that s pissed off about leaving home without its wings
again, but that doesn t mean it won t offer you a great driving experience.
Unfortunately for all those drivers willing to switch from petrol to
electricity, the Aptera 2e is not coming out this year as initially
planned. In fact the electric vehicle has been delayed and it will enter
production only at some point next year.
The problem is money of course as electric cars are fairly expensive to
develop. Aptera has received consistent funding from companies like
Google and IdeaLab and more private and public backers are also going to
help out. 4,000 people have already placed pre-order deposits but all
that cash that Aptera received so far is not enough to start production.
All those customers that have pre-ordered the car will have to wait
until next year to get it. Their deposits are refundable although if I
were one of them I d rather wait for Aptera to deliver my electric car
even at a later date than expected.
So what does the Aptera 2e have to offer? Well we ve seen already that
we re talking about a very aerodynamic car, a feature which should
contribute significantly to the overall performance of the vehicle. The
Aptera 2e is a three-wheel two-seater that can go from 0 to 60 mph in
just under 10 seconds and can reach top speeds of 90 mph. The car will
offer you a 200-plus mpg autonomy which is not bad considering our daily
needs. For longer trips you ll have to consider different means of
transportation or get used to making frequent pit stops required to
charge those batteries.
But let s not make any Aptera-related plans for now. We ll be waiting
for the company to raise the necessary funds and if all goes well we re
going to announce the beginning of Aptera 2e production at some point
next year.
