There was a conference held at UCLA this past weekend called Opportunity Green. As you might expect, there were a ton of green-related exhibits, with one of the more interesting displaying a hybrid 3-wheeler called the VentureOne.
This is a plug-in hybrid that the makers, Venture Vehicles (here), claim will get over 100 mpg. Aiding in stability, is the fact that the vehicle employs wheel-tilting technology. So far 20,000 people have pre-registered for the vehicle, which will sell for $25,000.
Here's Green Car Advisor's take: Green Solutions - Automotive and Otherwise - Highlighted at 'Opportunity Green'

This looks a lot like the Carver One. Top Gear did a test on the Carver a while back.

The problem with these green car companies is that they can't seem to get off the ground. They seem to spend all this money on R&D and then generate a ton of hype, but when it comes time for production, they fall flat on their face. Tesla has become the poster child of this practice, and, unfortunately, the whole industry.

This one does look cool, though.
