As a suggestion to narrow the width for parking, pivot the wheel struts so they bring the front wheels closer to the body of the vehicle. The width is 88 inches which leaves only 4 inches on each side of the wheel when entering a single garage door width of 96 inches. This would also be a big help on on-street parking for narrow streets.
Thanks for the information that this video provided. More people need to see better explanations about EV’s. So often is the case that the information being given is more about how maker of EV a is doing it wrong and this is why EV maker B is superior. I think pointing yourself in the direction of positive statements is the best.
Aptera wants owners to have full control to modify their vehicle so the answer is most likely a yes. A bit dangerous but if they fit they should work fine.
The solution to the battery shortage issue is to reduce the pack size and add a fuel burning range extender. A 60-70 mile battery pack will meet the daily driving needs of nearly all people nearly all the time. The range extender is only used on the infrequent occasions when more range is needed. This would allow 2-3 times more cars to be made with same total number of battery cells than is possible with 250-300 mile range battery only EVs. Also these batteries will be charged at a low C-rate with 7.5-15 kW level 2 charges at home, so they don’t have to be built with the ability to absorb 250 kW on a high speed DC charger. This will reduce battery cost and allow higher energy density. I have driven “plug-in hybrids” like this since 2015 with my 1st gen Volt (lease). I had a 2018 Mitsubishi PHEV Outlander (also lease), and now I have a 2nd gen 2018 Volt that I purchased this year. The 1st gen Volt was a really good car and the 45 mile range meet 95% of my driving needs. The 22 miles of battery range in the Outlander did not and the gasoline engine ran too frequently. I would not recommend such a short range. The 65 miles I am getting on my 2nd gen Volt is perfect for me. In 3 months of driving the engine hasn’t been needed once. But next week when we take a road trip to visit friends (now that we are all fully vaccinated), I will be using the gas engine in hybrid mode to get 40+ mpg. Such a system would achieve nearly all of the gains of a 100% BEV with a much smaller battery pack. Still can’t understand why Chevy quite making the Volt., but I do hope they reconsider. Maybe a slightly larger battery and motor in a Malibu sized sedan or a small crossover SUV that gets at least 50 miles of electric range could be a winner (or maybe just add 2 more inches in rear seat leg room to the Volt and it would be the perfect car).
With Aptera 250 miles of range is achieved with only 25 kWh of batteries, and in many areas 30- 40 miles of daily range can be provided by the solar cells. This performance is already 2 to three times better than a typical EV, or even better at higher speeds.
Nice video, but I don't get the 4x's as efficient as similar sized EV's, my bolt with a 60kw battery goes about 240-250 miles, the Aptera 600. Ignoring that one drives 4 and 1 sits 2, thats 2.4x's in my mind
Thanks for the comment. One of the places where Aptera design exceed most vehicles is driving above 45mph. As you drive faster, the gap between Aptera and other EVs like the Bolt gets wider.
There is enough energy density in the 100kWh battery pack to deliver 1000 miles of range at EPA highway speeds. The round trip total efficiency is much better than sources such as hydrogen fuel cells, and thus much better for the environment, with far less waste heat produced.

We're going to see EVs try all types of designs. There will be multiple winners with very different ideas.
An Aptera with solid state batteries: 2000 miles per charge.
Probably more.
Thank you very much... 👍👍👍👌👌 "SALUDOS... 👋👋😃 "
Welcome 👍
If Tesla 4680 batteries are ever made available to Aptera, will earlier Apteras be able to be retrofitted with them?
Aptera wants owners to have full control to modify their vehicle so the answer is most likely a yes. A bit dangerous but if they fit they should work fine.
@@apterareboot1555 why dangerous?
@@EV3NTH888 these wont be so simple like working with normal batteries you could screw up the conversion as a diy.

Hybrid engine is an unnecessary crutch for innovate EV makers.
Can somebody based in Germany invest in aptera?
yes. They are going to take investment from their own website
I'm not sure if there will be any jurisdictional restrictions. Hopefully, we will find out soon.

Yeah, the 250 mile one I'm getting has a 25K battery.

Too many commercial for what is in essence a commercial.
Set by RUclips. Will look at reducing them in the future. Thanks for your support!
You can buy advertising commercials from RUclips. Become famous like Dr, Squatch Soap.
Thanks for watching!
Batteries are the next chemical environmental disaster waiting to happen.
Their energy/power density is too low for anything other than hybrids.
There is enough energy density in the 100kWh battery pack to deliver 1000 miles of range at EPA highway speeds.
The round trip total efficiency is much better than sources such as hydrogen fuel cells, and thus much better for the environment, with far less waste heat produced.
Well said!
