TRANSPORTATION - CONTENTS

Natural Living: Transportation Section

The future of sustainable transportations systems starts with our communities. By making it possible for people to walk, bike and use transit we can elliminate the need for so many cars and trucks. When cars and trucks are needed we can use electric, Hybrid and newer technologies to reduce pollution by more than 90% while substatially reducing the cost of fuel.

It looks like the electric may finally reach the mainstream in 2008 or 2009. As battery technology improves electric vehicles will make the internal combustion engine look like a dinosaur.


Aptera will introduce electric and hybrid versions of their Typ-1 car in 2008. A solar panel on the roof provides additional power for the cooling system. Heating and cooling the cabin are achieved with a heat pump. The electric model is expected to have a top speed of 90 mph and a range of 120 miles on a charge. Charge time is expected to be in the 2-4 hour range. The hybrid version will have a range of 600 miles. It will cost very little to operate this vehicle. Depending upon the price of electricity and how far you drive it may be as little as $120/year.
