Aptera Wants Tesla Charging Connector

1

Unlike many other solar EV prototypes, Aptera's solar EV prototypes feature Tesla's proprietary charging connector, not the standard one.

We don't know how Tesla feels about Aptera's intention to implement and use Tesla's solution, which was announced back in 2020.

In the US, most industries use the J1772 connector, while in Europe and other parts of the world, the Type 2 plug is used.

4

According to Electrek, Aptera's CEO Chris Anthony recently stated during a Q&A session that

The Tesla solution does look and operate more smoothly, resulting in a better user experience, he does have a point.

Aptera intends to use this type of connector to access Tesla Superchargers without adapters. However, how will they convince Tesla to permit them to do so?

Even Tesla recently gave up on its own charger in favor of the Type 2-based CCS for Europe.

8

Although Tesla does not plan on giving up its own charger anytime soon, at least not in the US, we don't see this happening.
