Aptera Raises $24 Million In Series C Round
Aptera, the electric car start-up in Carlsbad, California, announced that it has secured $24 Million in it’s latest round of funding. This includes the money from Google’s RechargeIT. It’s looking more and more likely that we’ll be seeing these aircraft-like electric and plug-in hybrid cars in late 2009.
You can still reserve your Aptera, if you live in California, but you’ll have to get in line for an Aptera Typ-1. 3,300 people have plopped down the $500 refundable deposit already. That shouldn’t be too surprising, these little two seaters will get 300 MPG. The all electric version will go 120 miles on a single charge and the plug-in hybrid will take you as far as you need to go, as long as there is a nearby gas station or power outlet. Both cars will cruise at highway speeds and are super safe thanks to the design and high-tech body construction. Photo credit Aptera Motors.
