@neomaxcom You bring forward a very interesting point.
Tesla is driving their EV battery to home/grid to their solar systems. Will it be proprietary? Likely. So why would Aptera choose Tesla's plug if it pigeon holes the consumer into using one system? If it meant that the ability to use V2G would be compromised, I am not a fan of the Tesla charging system.
Otherwise I do see the benefits of the Tesla Charging Network. It's established, well thought out, pretty hassle free and allows for long trips without hunting for charging.
I think a universal charging port standard needs to developed very soon.
I would also like to see the USA go to a standard charging port standard like the EU. It is my understanding with the new addition of a few more inches to the length of the Aptera there will now be a lift up lid in the front of the vehicle to possibly have the ability to add up to four different charging ports. According to their online presentations they are not only committing to Tesla ports. They just showed a Tesla port on there first prototype photo.
