With apologies to Luka EV, here's what I am excited about, may have to cycle over for a test drive (hey its Friday).

@conormolloy Bold claims, roughly double efficiency of current best serial manufactured EVs...

@glassmanCZ @conormolloy Similar range claims on their more traditional motor setup https://mwmotors.cz/luka-ev-traditional/ with same nice retro looks.

@glassmanCZ Agreed. Always divide manufacturers claims by 2 is my rule, but the looks (I know - I shouldn't).
Deposit down on Aptera but no way am I going with Elon's socket.

@conormolloy @glassmanCZ oh, the Aptera looks fun too. Sadly Tesla have a major advantage in seating 4 or 5 people, so those are not an option for us for now…

@conormolloy not sure the socket is the critical problem :) Aptera is intriguing. I have reservation for Sono Sion, the efficiency might be lower, but practicality appeals to me, plus strong support for bi-directional operations.
