Re: aptera 150 miles per charge

Unfortunatly I can personally attest to the side-impact of the '03 model Prius... a couple of weeks ago I was on the interstate, nodded off, came too going 70mph in the ditch (speed limit in Indiana) and tried to gain control oversteered and came back onto the interstate 90 degrees to the path of an on-comming semi. 

Got hit on the left-front quarterpanel sent us spinning airborne back off(a half-foot or more towards the passenger compartment and it probably would've been a different story) -- both my passenger and I -walked- away, the '03 Prius on the other hand, totaled.

Had over 100k miles on it, but since it was a Toyota I fully expected 250-300k... back to driving the Twike/91' Camry until Toyota comes out with their Plug-In models... Plug-In Bio-Diesel hybrid would be my dream car...  diesel engines last for ever...  Aptera abandoned their diesel version because of California emissions control... sucks because most folks who'd drive an Aptera would use biodiesel 99% of the time...
