Aptera seems to have come a long way in the last year and now looks like it’s on the home stretch to actually start production. The startup, initially founded in 2005 and then re-formed in 2019, has been making a lot of progress, recently showing a very close-to-production version of its three-wheeler solar EV.
Now the company has announced that it has entered a cross-company cooperation deal with Singapore-based Maxeon Solar Technologies, which has already begun production of solar cells for the Aptera sEV. In an email we received from the Aptera media team, they note “this announcement means we’ve completed one of the most challenging aspects of our solar electric vehicle (sEV) and are one step closer to making solar mobility a reality for all.”
