  • How APTERA PV Solar Cells is shattering barriers to get into the low-cost production market.
    Some concepts can be appealing if physics is not considered. Solar-powered cars, for example, appear to be simple enough-just mount a few photovoltaic (PV) panels on top of an electric vehicle (EV) and presto! The sun provides infinite range.
    Up until you face reality, electric cars with integrated solar panels look like a brilliant concept. Even after Sono Motors failed and Light Year Solar Cars went into production, Aptera still makes wild claims.
    What is Aptera solar cars' secret? Why did Aptera use solar PV cells with a curve? Does Aptera possess knowledge that we do not?
    This episode looks at the potential and issues with solar-powered cars, including why they didn't succeed and what Aptera Motors is doing differently to make a difference.
    Buzzing around in the full light of day sounds appealing. The sun emits enough energy, no doubt about it, but math shows that it's not as useful as it seems.
    Sono Motors, a Munich-based firm, was forced to shelve plans to manufacture the "Sion," a partially solar-powered automobile, and instead concentrate on producing solar panels for other people's cars.

    It's actually more appropriately called an autocycle. It acts like an automobile with the benefits of a motorcycle.

    Well it is not said that Aptera will be successful but I sure hope so!
    It´s about time for Solar EV´s.

    What does "How Aptera PV solar cells is shattering barriers to get into the low cost production market", your first sentence, even mean? It's nonsensical.
    Also, no, Aptera's curved solar panels, overall, produce LESS electrical energy over the course of a day than if they used a flat solar panels. Aptera's solar panels are curved because Aptera's priority was vehicle aerodynamics.

      I understand solar race car teams spend an enormous amount of time/effort in understanding the "trade-offs" between solar panel performance and the vehicle's aerodynamics.

      Putting generators on wheels is called regenerative breaking and regenerative breaking slows the vehicle down and is very inefficient.

    Aptera is a motorcycle, not a car. And it is not produced. The expected production is very expensive. They formerely planned to build the chassis like a boat hull: vaccuum form 4 parts out of resin, glue them together, ready. Cheap solution. That did not work. Now they use a standard aluminium frame and glue expensive carbon planes onto it. These are produce in Italy and have to be shipped to US. Expensive. Like the batteries and the motors. The suggested retail price is pre-Covid, pre-Inflation.

      It is actually termed an “auto-cycle”…there are many videos illustrating how Aptera’s partners, like CPC and CTNS, are involved in the manufacturing processes, and why the upfront CapX costs are much lower than traditional automotive producers. The fact that very well known and established companies have agreed to partner with Aptera, though it does not guarantee the companies success, does support the idea that Aptera is a serious EV start-up contender. It’s probably well worth a watch (and read) before forming a definite opinion on their chances for success.

      It has been crowd funding that had raised over $100 million this far, no oil money, that is totally misinformation or bull dung.
      Money from Abu Dubai might be forthcoming, but up until now it has not.
