High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Aptera Motors is a manufacturer of high-efficiency road vehicles. Formerly known as Accelerated Composites, the company is based in Carlsbad, California. Aptera s first product, a three-wheeled two-seater named the Aptera 2 Series, is currently under development, though they are accepting pre-orders from California residents. The fuel efficiency of 300 mpg-US (0.78 L/100 km) when plugged in every 120 miles (190 km) would make it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in the world. The name Aptera is Greek for wingless, a nod to their light-aircraft-inspired design and construction techniques, and is correctly pluralized Apteras. However, Aptera Motors maintains that Aptera translates to wingless flight.
