Re. Charging

We know the Aptera can recharge fully overnight. Looking forward to hear about rapid charging options. Plug configuration, etc...

My power supplier offers lower electric rate when electric is used during specific hours, so scheduling charging done in the “savings window” could be great.

I suppose any licensed electrician could install a rapid charger.

Does it charge via solar while driving during the day?

I've been looking on the forums today trying to find that answer. I see Len answered it below. I paste this from the Q&A spreadsheet - The vehicle is charging while driving now, it's just the charge rate is less than the rate that it's consuming, hence, it's not a perpetual motion machine, but I suppose any trailer, or anything with a solar cell on it is going to produce electricity, whether it's moving or not. So conceivably, yes, you could do that.
