New York 2008: We sit down with Milner Motors to talk AirCar and ElectriCar
When we first encountered the Milner Motors ElectriCar yesterday, we just did a quick flyby with out cameras and then headed off to other events. Later in the afternoon, we returned for a 15 minute chat with Chris Milner, the AirCar inventor's son and a partner in the company. He talked about the design of the car, the potential roadmap from this early prototype stage to a production vehicle and why this is so much like the AirCar with its wings lopped off. And yes, Milner's AirCar and the MDI Air Car are two different beasts. Chris said he's more than aware of the credibility issues involved when you try to build a flying car but, should the ElectriCar make it to production, the profits could be used to fund further development of the Air Car. Get ready.

Is there truly an electric car company out there, willing to produce a commuter vehicle, say 60 mph for around 75 miles? And will they do this for under 30K? All I have seen so far are promises and scams. For the right price, I am willing to purchase 2 of these vehicles as my spouse and myself both work approximately 12.5 miles away. I love the aptera but do not live in California. The Milner looks promising but no date on production. I am getting impatient but do not want to go with a fossil fuel vehicle for these short commutes. I currently own a Ford Escape Hybrid, but alas, there is still too much of my hard earned money going to the Middle East. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
