Here are few details about the new Aptera 2e:

Aptera 2e

Wide Stance/Unique three wheel design

Just like a linebacker poised for the blitz, the Aptera takes a wide, three-point stance that makes the vehicle very stable, yet very agile. Push on the throttle, turn the wheel and the Aptera’s neutral chassis carves through corners like it’s on rails.

Fluid exterior form

Birds glide gracefully through the air, so why not expect your vehicle to do the same? The Aptera draws inspiration from nature’s creatures that embrace the environment instead of trying to fight it. Some people think we’re crazy, but we think it’s crazy that most vehicles spend more than 50% of their energy pushing wind out of the way.

Gullwing doors

The gullwing doors open upwards, not outwards. So no matter how tight your parking spot is, you’ll never have trouble opening the door wide enough to get out.

Eco-Chic Seating

You haven’t heard? Wasteful fabric is, like, so ‘totally’ out right now. Welcome the new kid on the block; it’s Eco-Chic Seating featuring recycled material that is colored with natural dyes.

Efficiency Meter

The efficiency meter helps you keep track of the energy you’re using. It also aids in establishing bragging rights. Please use respectfully.

Smart Phone Connectivity

Time to put all those playlists to work. Simply plug ‘n’ play music through the audio system, and with the push of a button, switch over for that important incoming call.

Rear Vision System

Displayed on a centralized screen, this system helps you keep your eyes on what’s in front of you, while never losing sight of what’s behind you. Additionally, the combination of a wide-view camera and adjustable mirrors help you say goodbye to blind spots.

Solar assisted climate control system

Be it scorching hot or absolutely freezing, you will approach your Aptera with confidence because you know that the solar cells on your roof are not there just for a fashion statement. They are there to keep your cabin at a welcoming temperature at all times.

Cavernous Cargo Compartment

With enough room for 15 bags of groceries, a couple of surfboards, or sets of golf bags, this cargo space is sure to meet your needs.

Driver and Passenger Airbags

We know the unthinkable happens, and when it does we want to make sure you’re prepared. That’s why your Aptera comes with a full complement of driver and passenger airbags.

Front Impact Zone

Your Aptera’s nimble handling should be more than adequate to help you avoid almost any collision. In the unfortunate case that you cannot, feel secure in knowing your vehicle is equipped with a front impact zone fashioned after the systems that protect race car drivers in high-speed collisions.

Side Impact Beams

Aptera is committed to your protection. That’s why both doors feature integrated side impact beams that distribute the force of a side impact as far away from you as possible.

Passenger Safety Cell/Cabin

We broke the rules again by creating a super-strong composite and aluminum safety cell to protect you and your passenger. We then added airbags, aluminum door reinforcements and more just because we like overdoing it on safety.

Currently Aptera 2e availability is limited to residents of California. We will work hard to bring this vehicle to the rest of the country and to international customers as soon as possible. Until then, if you are out of state you will receive a prompt refund if you send us a deposit. We appreciate your patience and would like for you to sign up for our newsletter so we can keep you informed as to when we will begin selling the Aptera in your area.
