If they put out millions of these cars out on the car lots today, it would pretty much solve this gas problem. =/

Because at the end of the day in order to get the electricity needed to run the car some kind of fossil fuel needs to be used to make it. And then storing it over time, and the electricity will dissipate slowly. So its quite inefficient.

Wait a minute, if its an electric car, how the hell is it getting 3K miles per GALLON, a gallon of what??

No it would not.

"According to Fambro the all-electric Aptera is expected to go roughly 120 miles on a full charge, while the series hybrid will travel 600 miles on a full battery and a full tank of gas — the equivalent of 300 mpg."

I agree with the question "how does it get 300 mpg", although, It might mean 300 miles per charge, or perhaps it is a hybrid model as well.

However, Electricity can be made using Nuclear power as well.

edit: yep I see they have a hybrid

That car is so impractical the MPG wouldn't matter.

Yeah if I ever get the money I'll buy it asap, and I'll be laughing at people like you when I roll past the gas stations each week with my tank only at quarter tank empty.

And to the person who said it would suck up human resources and suck up too much electricity. Yeah maybe it would but it's a heck of a lot better than these cars out there today getting only 30-40mpg. Maybe you just wouldn't want to save money? Well I do.

Um, we'd need some way of charging these things, which wouldn't be cheap. Either way, fossil fuels are going to be burned using them.
