ABOUT THE PROGRESSIVE AUTOMOTIVE X PRIZE
Our goal is to inspire a new generation of viable, safe, affordable and super fuel efficient vehicles that people want to buy.
$10 million in prizes will be awarded in September 2010 to the teams that win a rigorous stage competition for clean, production-capable vehicles that exceed 100 MPG energy equivalent (MPGe). We are proud to announce that the on-track Competition Phase will be hosted at Michigan International Speedway.

Damien Somerset talks with Marques McCammon from the Aptera Team about the design and market viability of the Aptera 2e. The Aptera 2e is a three wheeled vehicle and was designed for efficiency. This all-electric vehicle can achieve over 100 miles on a single charge. Plug into any standard 110 Volt household outlet for 8 -10 hours and you are ready for your next 100 miles. The shape was inspired by nature so that the vehicle seamlessly slips through the air as opposed to pushing air like most traditional vehicles. This when combined with the lightweight, high-strength composite body, and an estimated annual charging cost of less than $400 makes the Aptera 2e quite possibly the most energy efficient production vehicle in the world.

The first-ever Korea Electric Vehicle (SUV Taxi) Challenge took place March 2010 outside Seoul with electric car pioneer ZAP and distribution partner in Korea Samyang Optics entering two vehicles under development, the Alias electric car and A380 electric SUV.
This was ZAPs first public demonstration of the Alias electric car and SUV. ZAPs two 100 percent electric vehicles (EVs) drove along a 200km/124.3mi route at an average speed of 85kph (52.8mph) as part of the EV Challenge. Using a new lithium battery system, the ZAP SUV drove 195 km, on a single charge. The ZAP Alias concept car completed 50 miles on traditional lead acid batteries before requiring a recharge. ZAP will be using lithium batteries in a test this May. The three-day event included manufacturers of electric vehicles, batteries and chargers.
