I’m curious how popular small commuter vehicles would be. People spend a few thousand on ebikes and scooters. Would two seats with minimal cargo room, be the kind of thing that could be sold for 4-8k?
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.

I’d buy one tomorrow.

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.

That’s already available now as the Smart Fortwo Electric, and it’s nearly $30k.
30k is a problem. It’s in the same price bracket as inexpensive ICE SUVs.
I’m not saying it isn’t. I’m just saying you’ll likely never see one brand new under $10K like you want, or even under $20K.
For fucks sake it should be. Most commutes don’t need cargo space.
Pretty much this.

I’ve hunted hard as fuck for a Kei truck as it’d be perfect for my rural use case and not cost a ton and not take up a ton of room
