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.

Sitting still next to the Milner AirCar in the back of the New York Auto Show is the Milner ElectriCar. As we wrote in February, the ElectriCar uses an 11kWh battery and two 15hp electric motors to go for 120 miles without the 125cc engine coming on. We'll be speaking with Milner later today to get some details, for now we offer you some pictures of this unusually long vehicle. Some of the aspects of the ElectricCar that stuck out in my mind are the headlight wings and the center-mounted back-up/tail light. Whaddya think of the look?
