We have had some discussions that focus on the dimensions and technical specifications that are regulated by country-specific laws.
Just enter Europe in the search box to find the discussions.
The CEO says: Our goal is to sell Aptera worldwide ...
We have an EU homologation and certification expert ....
But the respective country laws speak a different language.
It would be interesting in which countries "we have a chance on our Aptera".
Please, let us know the attached data for your country if available,
we will then fill the table with the data.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
@loswa:
For Europe, the aptera is most similar to a category L5e-A vehicle (powered tricycle for passenger transport).
Requirements are laid down in https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32013R0168.
max. length: 4000 mm (*)
max. width: 2000 mm (*)
max. height: 2500 mm
max. power: not specified
max. speed: not specified
max. weight w/o battery: 1000 kg
(*) aptera currently not matching the regulations
Although I am a registered European customer, I would be more than happy for the Aptera to get road approval in the U.S. first (and actually make it onto the roads) before the team starts working on a European variant. I think there are still so many basic things to do that changing the vehicle's dimensions at this point would probably completely ruin the schedule.
