If you understand what they are saying, the solar ADDS to the charge you already have.

BTW , I wanted to ask everyone here why the Aptera doesn't follow the "Template", but I don't want to start a new thread.
If the Aptera followed the Template, there would be a lot more room in back, but not a huge amount added to the length.
Without much added to the length, it also wouldn't add much additional weight.

I traced the Template over the Aptera.
The black line in the AST, and the grey is the car underneath.
No false advertising. They will sell them on the claim the cars never need to be plugged in if you drive some fantasy number of miles. What will happen is people will be plugging in during the winter if they drive 10 to 20 miles day.
If they ever sell this thing and it encounters the real world it's going to be great.
Remember the guys who came up with these fantasy numbers also insisted they didn't need an anti sway bar and now what, they're going to correct on everything else. HA!
Next they will be selling bridges in new york.
