American Made Electric Muscle.
After showing you the Aptera Motors 2e, I decided to look into some additional choices for those of you who would like to keep it green as well as buy American.
All of these are American or Canadian companies and are on the cutting edge of the electric/hybrid technologies.
ZAP’s Xebra sedan - Zap stands for Zero Air Pollution has a top speed of 40 mph, can run up to 25 miles on a single charge and seats up to four.
The Meyers Motors NmG -NmG for No More Gas seats 2 and has a range of up to 45 miles and a top speed of 80 mph.
Persu Mobility - the tilting, three-wheeled Hybrid that its builders have devised a new term for the vehicle — an Urban Life Vehicle, or ULV. Sales of the Persu Hybrid are planned for early 2010.
Green Vehicles - three-wheeled Triac plug-in hybrid has a top speed of 80 mph and a driving range of 100 miles that can be boosted by as much as 25 percent with an additional battery pack.

Campagna Motors - T-Rex has combined the look and handling of a car with the size and fuel-efficiency of a motorcycle. The six-speed T-Rex is zippy with a top speed of 144 mph and can do 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
