Aptera unwraps pre-production 2e with 200 mpg mileage
Getting the ball rolling when you have a vehicle startup is pretty tough and it is quite more challenging when you are trying to develop an all electric vehicle that is three-wheeled donning a bubble like futuristic styling. Aptera knows how this should be as they continue the development of their EV last year. Recently though the company unwrapped their pre-production prototype of the 2e which is due to be out in 11 months sans any financing problems that might come.
According to CEO of Aptera Paul Wilbur, the company is a true start-up with everything developed from a fresh slate. The 2e is a product of great engineering and their dedicated workforce. He assures consumers that the Aptera 2e will live up to the quality, safety, and efficiency that the company is claiming.
The company is aware that they need to get everything right so they have signed up and hired the best and the brightest of the automotive industry.
The financial stability of the company was brought about by an influx of investments from parties who believe in the viability of the brand and its product. Aptera is also waiting for the decision of the Department of Energy for a five year loan amounting to $184 million via the Advanced Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program.
