Aptera has released another "debunking" video - but it raises a few questions: In the section about using Tesla chargers, Quincy states, "You'll have access to select Supercharger stations", which implies the "select" v3 & v4 locations that are equipped with the MagicDock CCS adaptor. We then see Chris M plugging a Supercharger cable directly into an Aptera Alpha prototype - before the camera cuts to a sign stating, "Tesla Vehicle Charging Only". Unless Aptera enters into an agreement with Tesla to enable its vehicles to be recognized as Tesla vehicles by Superchargers - or Tesla adds an option to its app to allow Aptera access - the only way to charge an Aptera at a Supercharger will be to use the Tesla app to activate and release a MagicDock adaptor and then inserting a CCS-to-NACS adapter into the Aptera. So that's a NACS connector inserted into a NACS-to-CCS adapter inserted into a CCS-to-NACS adapter inserted into the Aptera's NACS port. Is it just me or does this seem a bit too "Rube Goldberg/Heath Robinson" for prime-time? I also question the claim that "Aptera will charge at least twice as fast as other EVs on the market today." At 40-60kW, Aptera will gain state-of-charge at about HALF the speed of most other EVs currently available but, because if its efficiency, Aptera will gain twice or more the amount of RANGE over a given amount of time. So it's "spin": % of capacity gained vs. potential range gained.
