BMW, Honda and Hyundai (& Toyota) all still think hydrogen cars are the next big thing - here's why

8. I like the Aptera's design

The key feature of the Aptera is its efficiency:
https://aptera.us/

Aptera was created from the ground up with one purpose in mind — energy efficiency. Our unique shape allows Aptera to slip through the air using 30% of the energy compared to other electric and hybrid vehicles on the road today.

I’m sorry, but the “SEV” business is still (mostly) a gimmick/statement. Consider, the solar panels covering the hood and hatch are options (included in the “Launch Edition,” just like the “All Wheel Drive.”) If Aptera is really serious about solar charging, they would be standard equipment.

I may not be the only one who doesn’t want to cover the back window with solar cells, but, why not make the solar “hood” standard?

Perhaps my favorite feature is its use of "carbon-fiber” (like the Pre-Musk Tesla roadster.) It’s light, it’s strong, it will never rust. In an accident, the Aptera will act sort of like a Formula 1 race car. I expect those outrigger drive wheels will sheer off, carrying away kinetic energy, leaving its rugged “carbon-fiber” body largely intact (now, give me a 5-point harness!)
