TEN APTERA RETURNS, GRIDSERVE, SOLID STATE BREAKTHROUGHS?

EV Channels Review

The Aptera, a hyper-aerodynamic three-wheeler, makes a comeback after nearly a decade, promising a range-topping model capable of 1,000 miles per charge and a cost below a Tesla Model Y. The updated design incorporates the latest lithium-ion battery technology, new in-wheel motors, and an on-board solar panel system that can add up to 40 miles of range daily. While the reviewer has placed a reservation, they express caution about its actual production viability. The episode also covers the debut of the all-electric autonomous Monarch tractor, Tesla's $5 billion capital raise, Volkswagen's ID6 preparations, and various other EV news including charging infrastructure advancements and solid-state battery developments from QuantumScape and Solid Power. The review highlights the potential of new technologies but also notes skepticism surrounding some claims.
