Quote:
Paul Wilbur, CEO, Aptera- Aptera builds the stylish composite-bodied, three-wheeled Aptera. Aptera "doesn't want to be in the battery business."
- "We don't think the chemistries today are the long term solutions," said Wilbur, adding, "We rather focus on the physics of the car – weight and aerodynamics"
- A Chevy Volt is going to weigh 3000 to 3500 pounds versus 1,800 pounds for the Aptera.
- The CEO claimed that the Aptera's 0.15 coeff of drag is the best in the world and that the Aptera contains the smallest battery pack of any EV in the world. The vehicle has three wheels to improve aerodynamics.
