Good point about more efficient regen. The number of motor/generators doesn't make much difference though. It's the same total. For example 60kW of braking force would take 20kW from each of 3 motor/generators, or 30kW from each of 2 motor/generators.
Right about the average NEW charger, but there are many older 50kW chargers still in use. Some of the newest are only 25kW, where power supply is low, & at Harley dealers.
The point for this subject line is that with adequate cooling, any battery in an Aptera should age better than the same battery in any other EV, due to shallower discharge & lower current, including it's 50kW DC limit.
@kiteboarder I don't doubt that it works, but I can't find any information about the CCS standard that refers to anything under 50 kW. I know that it's not about what the charger can deliver but what the vehicle can accept - the HD LiveWire, for example, can only accept 13 kW DC charge (it has a 1.5 kW onboard AC charger, FYI). So I wonder if those HD CCS units are splitting 50 kW across two connectors? THAT could be the answer...
