Aptera has designed an all electric, three wheeler futuristic vehicle called ‘2e’. Aptera had to overcome many financial and technical hurdles to develop this car from scratch. The ‘2e’ is a futuristic looking 3-wheeler bubble car. It uses a phosphate based lithium ion battery developed by A123 Systems to power its motor. Aptera claims for the ‘2e’ to have an efficiency of around 200 miles per gallon.
The 2e is in its pre-production stages now. A prototype is going to be sent to Michigan, where it will be rigorously tested for several months.
