Is Aptera's Typ-1 the future?

A few weeks ago I wrote about electric cars being the future. Apparently the future is now because Aptera is set to begin production and sales of their Typ-1. This is an extremely aerodynamic two passenger electric car that can go 120 miles on a charge. That's interesting enough, especially at an estimated cost of $30,000.

But later this year they will release the Typ-1h which will be a Series Hybrid with an onboard gasoline powered generator. The Typ-1h will have an unlimited range and an estimated fuel economy of 300 miles per gallon. No kidding, 300.

Here's a review, including video, done by Popular Mechanics. Remember where you were when you watch it, this thing may just be the future.
