Continuing production on the story of the Progressive Automotive X Prize competition brought me to Southern California, where some of our most promising alternative energy car companies are based. One company that stands out is Aptera - whose entry into the X Prize competition looks something like a jet without wings... or a shark designed by Apple. Whatever you think it looks like, just don't call it a "car"... The team at Aptera will remind you they're building something completely new: a super-efficient (200+ mpg), ultra-affordable (around $25K) vehicle of the future!
I was fortunate enough to be invited into their growing startup company headquartered in beautiful Vista, California. A staff of talented young designers, engineers, and businesspeople is working passionately to grow this promising new enterprise. Companies like Aptera aren't just building hot, fuel-efficient vehicles... They're also providing real jobs for America's growing new energy economy.
Stay tuned for the completed video, which we'll post in early April.
