It's a pity they dont have a diesel on the cards. A small diesel doing hardly any work would need almost no radiator. My yaris has a mobile phone sized opening to the radiator. The yaris, i'm sure, requires much more energy to push it that an aptera. So the radiator opening on a diesel aptera would be tiny. Maybe smaller than the cabin vent?
Regarding the battery life of the aptera, i don't know the figures but given how little energy it takes to move it, it should do well. The likes of the EV1 or the tesla are reasonably conventially shaped cars. They have four wheels too, not three like the aptera. So the range of the aptera should be much better than other current ev cars. Unless the battery pack in the aptera is smaller?
