Looked up their web site - they kinda offer cars, mostly convertions, but this one looks groundup. Doe they actually sell it? Specs look somewhat unreal - 170miles and up to 80MPH? Allthou velow average acceleration - 12 sec, which I would forgive to EV.

They don't have any real pictures, but maybe their marketing is not great ither. I would actually consider buyin one like Wave, if Aptera goes dark.

Anyone knows anything? And is it a competition to Aptera in retail sales too, as it is on ZX-prize?

Yes, the Li-ion Wave II is in the Finals of the X-Prize, and it may be the most efficient of the 4 wheeled vehicles, and it beats the Aptera in efficiency. It may be second only to the E-Tracers.

It is not as quick as those vehicles, though. I think it probably handles better than either.
