Recently, Aptera unveiled a new investor section of its website, and the company also showed a fan-made video of the vehicle appearing in GTA 5. The Investor Website Before I get started with this article, let’s get one thing completely out of the way: I’m a terrible source for investment … [continued]
Aptera recently posted a video giving us a better peek at the vehicle and its features. In the video, the company shows its second development vehicle, nicknamed Sol. We didn’t learn many new details, but it’s a good way for people new to the idea of the company to get … [continued]
Another recent piece here at CleanTechnica went over a way to get 5 electric cars built with the same lithium that goes into an EV today. What George said is definitely true, but I wanted to add some thoughts on how we could actually make it happen. One non-starter I … [continued]

After planning a trip in an Aptera for London to Moscow to Beijing, I decided to see about crossing two more continents so we could have a truly global set of insane trip plans. This was where I ran into the biggest challenge: South Africa to Europe.
Now that readers helped me find data on China’s DC Fast Charging (DCFC) infrastructure, I’m ready to see if a vehicle like the Aptera could drive across all of Eurasia.
A 13,230 mile drive is possible in an Aptera if you’re adventurous enough and plan the right overnight stops for charging. The whole Pan-Am Highway is possible, it seems.
