If you have never heard of Aptera, I suggest you read my previous post: (Aptera: The First Solar EV You Never Have To Charge.)
Intro
Aptera is a fantastic company that is producing a game-changing ergonomic vehicle, aiming to give people true off-the-grid transportation, allowing them to take trips currently unfeasible with today’s available options.
Unlike other electric cars on the market, the Aptera recharges its batteries using traditional EV systems and innovative solar charging technologies, freeing people from the fear of running out of battery.
Here are the top 10 reasons why Aptera will be the ultimate road trip vehicle.
1. Range
With Aptera's fully equipped battery option, you can travel to an unheard of 1,000 miles, eliminating the stress of planning your trips around charging and gas stations.
There are four options when it comes to Aptera's range: 250 miles ($25,900), 400 miles ($29,800), 600 miles ($34,600), and 1,000 miles ($44,900).
2. Solar Power
There are multiple options when choosing your solar power package: Solar Roof + Dash (Included), Solar Hood (+ $300), Solar Rear Hatch (+ $600), and All Panels (+ $900) with daily solar charging ranging from 16 miles to 40 miles.
“Your options are limitless with Aptera. Each vehicle can generate enough solar energy for up to about 40 miles of free daily driving and up to 1,000 miles of range when fully charged.”
“Eliminate the worry of finding charging stations. Aptera’s unique diamond shaped solar panels maximize the energy you get from the sun. This gives fully equipped vehicles 700 Watts of continuous charging power — whether you’re driving or parked.”
3. Spacious
The Aptera may be a two-seater, but it's roomier on the inside than it might look. It can comfortably fit whatever you need in the rear: surfboards, camping gear, even your pets.
“Whether you’re hauling the gear for your favorite activities, sleeping under the stars, or securing your furry friend, Aptera is designed to fit you and all of your cargo. With 25 cubic feet of rear storage, Aptera has room to meet your needs.”
4. Safety
The Aptera is a very safe vehicle in more ways than one. The shape, materials, and technologies used, make it one of the strongest and safest vehicles ever to hit the road.
“Inspired by fighter jets and racecars, Aptera protects you and your loved ones with a safety cell seven times stronger than steel.”
“The body is built with ultra-lightweight composites and its arched shape mimics the physics of an eggshell.”
For an extra $1,300, you can get Safety Pilot:
“Travel is easy as Aptera drives itself to your location with Level 2 autonomy capability, which includes facial tracking, lane keep, adaptive cruise, and emergency braking.”
5. All-Weather Capable
Whatever mother nature throws at you, Aptera can take it.
“Capable down to -20 and up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, Aptera has been developed to handle well in the harshest conditions. With all-wheel-drive and vectorized torque control, snow, ice, sand, and gravel are no problem.”
6. Camping Ready + Options
Park your Aptera at the beach, in the woods, or desert canyon; pop the rear, lay back, and take in the view.
For an extra $600, you can get the Camping Kit:
“Integrated tent and rear awning gets you out in the wild but keeps you cozy inside. Also includes tail cover and step stool for easy entry.”
7. Pet Friendly + Options
Man's and woman's best friends will love to TAKE A RIDE in the Aptera.
For an additional $300, you can get the Pet Kit:
“Pet divider with ability to safely secure your friend during driving, accessories including water bowl, bags, and rear cover and ladder.”
8. Off-Road Ability + Options
Want to take the Apter a little farther off the beaten path? They got you.
For an additional $1,000, you can get the Off-Road Kit:
“More ground clearance and tougher wheel covers so you can take your Aptera off-road.”
9. Easier Vehicle Repairs
With their Right to Repair Commitment, Aptera is changing how vehicle repairs and services will occur to where there should be no need to leave your car in the shop for extended periods.
“We are pledging to ship our customers parts within 24 hours of need and also give them all the information on how to fix whatever that problem is. We’re going to have QR codes around the whole vehicle that you can just scan and watch a video on how to repair whatever part of that vehicle.” – Chris Anthony, Co-CEO
10. Pollution Free Travel
People will better enjoy their travels, knowing they're helping reduce our negative impact on the environment by eliminating the harmful emissions emitted from traditional gasoline vehicles.
“Each Aptera owner can reduce their carbon footprint by over 14,000 pounds of CO2 per year. We’re making it easier for you to do your part.”
Conclusion
Now that you realize your endless destination possibilities with Aptera, where will you go on your next road trip? California, New York, Alaska? Maybe someplace international, like Canada or Costa Rica. No matter where you pick, if you have good company, don’t have to worry about fuel, and have a reliable and safe Aptera vehicle, you can’t go wrong.
