In more fun and environmentally friendly vehicles, check out the Aptera 2e.
The three-wheel vehicle is technically a motorcycle, but it has met the safety requirements of a car. It’s lightweight, roomy, and it boasts more than 100 miles on a single full charge–an equivalent of 300 miles per gallon. The 2e, named for its two passenger configuration and electric powertain, is designed to provide safe, reliable transportation for the average consumer who tends to travel approximately 40 miles per day in their daily commute. The car is scheduled to be available later this year and will cost about $30,000.

Ford Motor Company announced plans to bring an all-electric version of the 2010 Transit Connect to the North American market in addition to its 2.0 liter gasoline-powered model. The electric Transit Connect, a small van, will be offered in “select” U.S. Ford dealerships.
Ford spokeswoman Jennifer Moore said the Ampere was the EU version of the Transit Connect and reiterated that Ford has not announced a battery type or supplier. However, she said the North American version of the all-electric Transit Connect will have a targeted range of approximately 100 miles. The Transit Connect is a smaller alternative to a full-size cargo van and can be outfitted for package delivery or for passenger use.
Ford has not announced pricing on the all-electric Transit Connect. The light commercial vehicle will be Ford’s first all-electric move into the North American market, preceding the small electric passenger sedan in 2011.
