The company plans to get two different vehicles on the road at first, seemingly differentiated by range. The 180-kilometer-range vehicle will sell for $23,000 to $25,000 while the 320-kilometer vehicle will be between $29,000 and $33,000, and they’re entirely electric–a much “greener” option than existing hybrids like the Prius. There is no touchscreen dashboard, and the styling of the cars isn’t quite up to the Aston-Martin/BMW mashup that is Tesla’s Model S, but it looks perfectly acceptable–particularly in red and black “sporty” option (and it’s a lot more conventional than the bizarre Aptera). The cars are no speed slouches either, with a top speed of 112mph and a 0-62 time of under eight seconds. The Tesla S can do that in around six seconds.
