Aptera goes into production

Four years ago, the American company Aptera Motors presented the Aptera concept, a solar-powered electric vehicle. The car is currently in the final stages of development, and the company has also presented the final version of the car.

During the presentation of Aptera Motors, it was announced that the car would have a range of a whopping 1,600 km, which was eventually found to be incorrect. The latest information says that the Aptera, equipped with a 100 kWh battery, will have a range of 644 km on a single charge plus 65 kilometers on solar energy.

The Aptera weighs less than 1,000 kg and an incredibly low air resistance of just 0.13. Also, there will be different types of engines on offer. So far, engine power has not been revealed, but it is known that models with front-wheel drive will accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds, and on all three wheels in 3.5 seconds. The company says the Aptera can be charged via a fast charger in less than an hour.

The company has already received 50,000 orders worth a total of $1.7 billion.

Aptera is delaying delivery until 2023-2024

At the end of 2020, Aptera Motors has introduced an interesting solar-powered electric vehicle with a range of 1,600 kilometers. It is an Aptera 3, an electric three-wheeler with an elegant design.

The vehicle has a lightweight construction and an incredibly low air resistance of just 0.13. It uses only 100 Wh of energy per 1.6 kilometers. However, future owners began to talk about the problem of delivery of their vehicles. On social media, rumors have surfaced that Aptera vehicles ordered for this year will be delivered in 2023 or 2024. What is the reason for the delay in delivery?

Aptera Motors stated that there were no problems with the production, but that the delivery was postponed due to the customer’s specific choice of configuration, date of reservation and place where he lives. “The goal is to begin shipping to our first customers the Paradigm Edition in 2022, followed by as many customers in the U.S. as possible in 2023 until we increase the number to 40 per day,” the statement said.

The company said that their priority is to make the highest quality solar electric vehicle, and that they will contact each customer individually. Buyers outside the United States have to wait until 2024.
