I heard that initial alpha testing would bring in some new battery technology into it's next stage of development, does this include solid state battery technology?
If not, can I add this to the idea queue? Thanks! 😁

Wonder about solid state batteries and if super capacitors can be of any benefit.
I believe they could be with proper control circuit timing on charge times an charge rates would apply. Of course it would take a lot of time to work it out.
Solid state batteries & other new battery tech has already been suggested.
However, Aptera's record-low battery requirements mean there's record-low gains to be made from any new battery tech.
For example, since it uses about 40% as much power as any other EV, a huge battery breakthrough of 10% better power-to-weight ratio would only save Aptera 4%.
