    I really like the idea of the Aptera for this.

    Lowest could potentially be 25k but essentially free to operate, and hopefully easier to repair than mainstream evs, which very much are not.

    But they haven’t fully climbed the startup hill so I’ll have to wait and see.

      The Aptera will be the next main hate target for all the Diesel-bros and other mouth-breathers. I would like one, but even here in Germany a car like that is developing No-Go zones in the east of the country.

      Wow, 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds, solar powered and looks like made by Gutamaya! Shuddup an’ take my money! I hope it takes off and vehicles like this become the norm for commuting.
