Spaceship Like Car

The Aptra typ-1car is a spaceship like two seater with three wheels. There are two versions of the car, one being a plug-in hybrid (typ-1h) and the other running solely on electricity (typ-1e). The electric car has 120 miles of battery life, and the hybrid gets about 130 mpg, although Aptera Motors says that number is more like 300 mpg when one accounts for the fact that an average daily trip is less than 120 miles.A solar panel on the roof regulates the interior temperature. The cargo space big enough to fit a couple of surfboards. The Aptera car can be a family car too, with space for a car seat for when 2 people become 2.5.
