Sandy Munro thinks very highly of Aptera and its solar electric three-wheeler, saying that it is the electric vehicle that will make sense even to those who would not otherwise consider one. The automotive engineer now famous for his teardowns says that Aptera’s sales projections for the next few years are somewhat conservative and in his view the startup will end up with more orders than it’s currently predicting it will have.
Aptera already has some 47,000 reservations for is solar EV, but according to Sandy, the number will go up once the vehicle launches and people experience and understand what it’s about. And the fact that it charges from the sun, which will make the the ownership experience cheaper and more fuss-free, and Sandy believes this will be the game-changing feature that will bring in the buyers.
