to keep money in his pocket, instead of feeding a gas pump. The idea was simple yet brilliant. Design a vehicle that follows nature and glides through the wind instead of pushing it. Then, Steve met entrepreneur and boat builder Chris Anthony. Chris introduced Steveto a composite body system that enabled the vision to take shape. Together, Steve and Chris carried their dreams to Pasadena, Calif. and the doorsteps of new business incubator Idealab and it’s founder Bill Gross. Gross saw the vision and seeded the team with the investment needed to make a dream become a business. With hope in hand and the future in mind, Steve and Chris recruited a couple ofbright young engineers. The team brought form to philosophy and the result may very well be the most efficient production vehicle in the world - the Aptera 2e.

Frustrated by being land locked in a sea of steel and asphalt, our cofounder, Steve Fambro dreamed of cruising past traffic in a vehicle that was safe enough to protect his new family, yet efficient enough

Wide Athletic Stance Just like a linebacker poised for the blitz, the Aptera takes a wide, three-point stance that makes the vehicle very stable, yet very agile. Push on the throttle, turn the wheel and the Aptera’s neutral chassis carves through corners like it’s on rails. Butterfly-Style Doors Thebutterfly-style doors open upwards, not outwards. So no matter how tight your parking spot is, you’ll never have trouble opening the door wide enough to get out. Efficiency Meter The efficiency meter helps you keep track of the energy you’re using. It also aids in establishing bragging rights. Please use respectfully.

Easy-To-Use Instrument Panel Drive in comfort with your controls just a touch away.Placed just where you’d expect them, you can focus on the road instead of your dash.

Fluid Exterior Form Birds glide gracefully through the air, so why not expect your vehicle to do the same? Drawing inspiration from nature, the Aptera slips through the air instead of pushing it.

Smartphone Connectivity Time to put all those playlists to work. Simply plug ‘n’ play music through the audiosystem, and with the push of a button, switch over for that important incoming call.
