Aptera has presented in society the Luna, the third version that allows to answer some doubts present in the previous models. Here are the keys that are known.
The electric car, as the months go by, continues to gain a foothold in the market. Improved battery technology is allowing you to have greater autonomy, while reducing the cost of production of purely electrical components. Under this new scenario companies linked to the market are beginning to appear battery-based automotive. And, in addition, a process is taking place that goes far beyond transition.
Considering that electrical mechanics is not yet fully developed, what sense could there be in researching other additional solutions? This is just what Aptera has raised, a company that, like Sonos or Lightyear, believe in the benefits of solar panel technology. Can an electric car circulate thanks to solar energy? There are already several projects that decide this position.
Among them, Aptera is the company that has made the most progress in the field. It has also done so by offering a proposal that goes far beyond the simple and straightforward aggregation of photovoltaic panels. In this case, it has been decided to bet on a reference design with the aim of get additional deep-draft upgrades. As a consequence, the Luna prototype has been shown to the public to learn about the latest advances in this regard.
Its aesthetics, in this third generation, remains the same, the number of colors used having been modified to some degree. In the same way, this third prototype comes with some other advance in what refers to the interior, a space that will house only 2 users. Even so, it should be noted that the rear, harmed by its designIt will only allow to have a large trunk and not a second row of seats.
Let’s see, therefore, what are the novelties that this curious proposal brings with it, why are we facing a model that can break all the schemes provided in the industry and, of course, what can we expect in relation to this particular model. Is the Aptera the car that will change sustainable mobility forever? Here are the keys.
Aptera already wears the Luna model, the third prototype of its future vehicle
The Aptera is a vehicle that will only be available in a single configuration. It will have 2 axles, yes, but the rear will only have one wheel. This is expected not to affect its stability at all. The concept is especially related to improving efficiency. So much so that it has been tried to imitate the drop of water to the maximum, one of the figures that presents the least resistance to the wind.
When the Aptera was unveiled, the announcement about its 1,000 miles (about 1,600 kilometers to the change) sparked all kinds of criticism. They seemed overly optimistic numbers, but the truth is that there are already more than 7,000 orders that the company expects to undertake in the coming years. At the moment, the objective in reference to production remains at some point this year, delivering the first units in 2022.
Among the qualities of this curious work of engineering is the provision, in the face of all restrictions in terms of aesthetics, of a boot with capacity for 700 liters. It is therefore a vehicle that can offer great performance for multiple uses when production comes to fruition.
Can a product of these characteristics be a benchmark in the market in the coming years? Everything will depend on several factors, among which it is worth highlighting, of course, the presence of a competitive price. This can only be viable if the demand is able to understand that it is a product with differential qualities, but very different from everything else on the market in terms of image.
A product designed to be a benchmark in sustainable and economic mobility
Considering the incredible growing trend in energy costs, achieving self-sufficiency in electricity seems like a differential solution to save in the medium and long term. In this sense, an Aptera will allow you to enjoy a few tens of kilometers each day for free, which will depend on a number of factors. In this context, the electric car would take its use to a new level.
Aptera’s bet has yet to get approval from the security bodies. The next few months, therefore, will be fundamental for guarantee the availability of a differential product, safe and of course energy efficient. Will it meet the demands of the public today?
There are only a few months of waiting to be able to have the first units circulating on the road. In the meantime, you can start to get excited about a unit, since there has been a reserve list for some time. To be able to access it, you just have to make a deposit of as little as $ 100. And you, would you go for a unit knowing the project behind it?
