It appears to have in wheel motors on all 3 wheels. This will improve aero, by avoiding exposed drive shafts, and probably more efficient, too.

They are 50kW in-wheel motors.

They went with hub motors so this one might be vapor too.

With the proceeds from the aptera 1 scam dwindling, they had to let enough time elapse for the stench from that and elio to dissipate before rebooting.

Stupid chassis can't handle high hp and speed. That was proven at x-prize, and it hasn't been improved.
