Hi everyone, I stumbled upon Aptera today and I was curious as to the battery chemistry. Does Aptera give more detailed specs on the battery anywhere or does anyone know what cathode material is used? Thanks!

@jcarey19056 The founders stated that their pack uses 21700 cells from a "known manufacturer" and, unless they're using a custom chemistry (which they probably are not) then the cells are likely to be either NMC, NCA or LCO as those are the most common chemistries. But, as my colleague @n.bruce.nelson stated, we won't know for certain until we know for certain!
Aptera won't be revealing this until they and their vendor mutually agree. This might be a while yet with testing on going and production almost a year off.
Chris or Steve said they are using a 2170 cell. That’s the size Panasonic supplies for the Tesla 3 and Y.
