A tour of the Aptera production facility

From NewScientist: "Electric vehicles are all the rage, but few have pushed the design envelope as far as the Aptera Typ-1, which hits the streets of California in December. Aptera Motors claims that its vehicle can travel up to 190 kilometres on a single charge, aided by roof-mounted solar cells. The vehicle, which is officially classified as a motorbike, will sell for $27,000. A petrol/electric hybrid version with a longer range is due to be launched in 2009 for $30,000."

If only they could ramp up production; this thing would be really cheap. To have what's basically a custom-made car for $25 grand? Mass produced I bet this thing could be down to $15k or less.
