And thank goodness Aptera launched a petition to make the Tesla plug standard almost a year ago 😉
Us and 40,000+ signatures from our community made a real difference in the adoption of EVs. »
Less than 1% of the cars on the road are EVs in the US, and 75% of those are already Teslas. NOW is the time to choose the right charging infrastructure BEFORE we waste billions on inferior tech.

It's official. 🥳 Aptera has been approved for a $21 million grant from
@CalEnergy
(CEC) to add critical capacity to accelerate scaled manufacturing of the world’s first true zero-emission vehicle (ZEV). →
Aptera has received its first fleet order of 101 vehicles from SustainabilitySooner, Inc.™
This represents the first of many anticipated partnerships between Aptera and companies that desire a fleet solution with less environmental impact. →
Aptera Solar has launched a pilot program with EV trailer manufacturer Polydrops. These custom-fit panels provide 1300 watts of energy while keeping the aerodynamic shape. Stay tuned for more details next week. ☀️
Aptera will integrate openpilot™, the number one ranked driver assistance system by Consumer Reports.
This will allow Aptera drivers to enjoy road trips with openpilot™’s advanced features including adaptive cruise control, and lane centering. →
Aptera is committed to bringing our vehicle into production.
We've recently begun production tooling on Aptera's body structure. This steel block will be used to build your Aptera in the near future. 🤯

design has been completed, and we can’t wait to unwrap it in the next week.
Happy Holidays from our Aptera family to yours. 💚
Aptera is designed to be the most aerodynamic passenger vehicle. Today, we take to the road to show off our laminar flow. More to come.

We have surpassed $10 million from the Accelerator Program, and are over halfway towards our goal.
YOU are the reason Aptera will succeed in transforming transportation. 💚
#AccelerateAptera
With Aptera, every charging station feels ultra-fast.
Why? Because Aptera is 3 times more efficient, making a 50kW charging station feel like a 150kW charging station. 🤯
Today we signed an agreement with
@Tesla
to adopt the North American Charging Standard. This opens charging for Rivian vehicles on Tesla's Supercharger network across the United States and Canada. Access starts as soon as Spring 2024.
The Tesla connector should be the
#superstandard
for EVs.
Imagine being stuck with the 30-pin Apple plug on your phone because the U.S. Government wasted billions on infrastructure that's not easily upgradable.

Using point-of-use controllers allows our wiring harness to be simpler, weigh less, and be more reliable.

Did you know Aptera has 189 solar cells?
By removing four solar cells from regions of the vehicle with high curvature, we've managed to boost Aptera's overall power output. But how does this work? The output of a solar string is determined by the weakest cell within the array.
Aptera's first production body is here. This marks a significant step forward as our engineers eagerly prepare for our PI vehicle builds. Watch our March update here →
CAEATFA has awarded Aptera an exemption on taxes for $81 million in equipment purchases to outfit our factory. This achievement provides us with a unique opportunity to accelerate our efforts & drive innovation in the mobility industry ☀️

The first molds for Aptera's body have been completed. CPC Group has been working tirelessly alongside us to develop and manufacture these state-of-the-art production tools.
This is Aptera's production air handler. It integrates an evaporator, heater, and blower into a single compact unit. Utilizing flaps and ducts, it directs air to the upper vents, floor vents, and defrosters.. 🌬️
Aptera has entered our validation phase by conducting correlation testing of our Gamma vehicle at the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel. This is the first step towards fully validating Aptera's aerodynamic requirements.
