Aptera is considering using Tesla's Charging Connector with their cars.

The business disclosed that it would be aiming to adopt the Tesla J1772 charging port on its production vehicles via a recent Q&A with Aptera co-CEOs.

In the most recent Aptera Q&A (via Electrek), someone inquired as to whether the Tesla charging port used on the prototype vehicle would also be used on the final model. Chris Anthony, the co-CEO, is a major lover of the connector and wants to be able to use J1772 on the car, it turns out. Anthony particularly liked how simple it was to operate, how it worked with various charging speeds, and even how beautiful it was.

If Aptera ever decides to construct the vehicle, the charging port is just one of many distinguishing elements that might cause a huge upheaval in the EV market. The top-of-the-line version of Aptera's future vehicle, according to their website, will be able to go 1000 miles on a single charge because to the vehicle's efficient form (with a drag coefficient of 0.13) and in-hub motors.More interestingly, the car's top-mounted solar panels are said to enable the vehicle to operate for extended periods of time without requiring a charge; in fact, if solar conditions are favourable and excursions are brief enough, the vehicle may never require a charge. Even add-ons like tents and off-road upgrades are available from the company for their prospective vehicle.

Companies like Lightyear are singing the virtues of roof-mounted solar, even though these statements may have appeared far-fetched in the not-too-distant past. Additionally, they might be nearer to manufacturing than ever, according to Aptera's most recent press release. In order to make in-hub motors, the brand will collaborate with the Slovenian motor company Elaphe, and as part of the agreement, a 160,000 square foot research and development facility will be built. The super-efficient solar car could arrive sooner than we think; this could be the most solid news in Aptera's history.
