Steve Fambro, Electric Vehicle Entrepreneur
Aptera Motors, Carlsbad & Vista, Calif.
Inspired during commutes to create an efficient vehicle, Fambro quit his job and partnered with boat builder Chris Anthony to develop the Aptera 2e, one of the most aerodynamic and efficient production electric vehicles on the road. With its distinctive three-point stance and futuristic shape, the Aptera has less aerodynamic drag than a ten-speed bike, can reach speeds of over 85 miles per hour and drives over 100 miles before recharging. It goes into production this fall, and you can see an Aptera on display in Fast Forward.
