The Aptera apparently uses Lithium Phosphate batteries. Steve Frambro, the founder of the Aptera said: "The company also hopes to use off-the-shelf lithium phosphate batteries that are proven and safe, Fambro says." This seems to me a smart choice as their performance is very promising. If the customers get a warranty with the Aptera-battery, then even better. Twike 890

On their website it still seems to be up in the air, it says may result in 2 battery types. we'll see. Electric & Gasoline Hybrid ------------------------------------------- The Typ-1 uses a commoditized, 'ruggedized' 3-phase motor controller designed for vehicular applications, and a 3-phase motor made for us by a company here in Southern California. The rear drive suspension, and the drive reduction, are all designed and made by Aptera. Since the Typ-1e (electric) and the Typ-1h (series plug in hybrid) have different battery needs, this may result in different battery manufacturers for the two models. The Typ-1e is designed to use a 10 KWh pack, while the Typ-1h uses a smaller pack. The cycles and DOD are different for both applications. We will announce further information regarding the battery lifespan and warranty policy well before we begin manufacturing the Typ-1 next October. |
