I just read that Toyota is going to be producing EVs using this technology which is superior to our present battery technology. Has Aptera developers looked into this given the advantages of this technology?
Yes, Chris Anthony even founded a publicly traded battery company. They keep up to date on all this technology, perhaps as well as anyone.
There is always going to be a performance vs cost vs supply trade off, and Aptera will be high on the curve of optimizing the pieces of this puzzle, which will be constantly changing as we go forward.
Yeah, for me an Aptera makes sense because the battery packs are small enough not to require superchargers. I can easily charge overnight as needed on a Level 1 charger, and it doesn't coast 40k. I'm super excited to get 400 miles of range for the price. And in sunny LA, the solar charging is gonna be sweet. I guess what I'm saying is I'm glad they aren't pushing the tech envelope driving up the price.
If I recall correctly, solid-state has advantages such as charge speed (where Aptera already has a 60% advantage), but cycle life is still much lower than Li-ion.
Even a 1st-gen Leaf battery would be much better in an Aptera, since it would last longer & go further & charge faster, just because of Aptera's efficiency.
I don't know the spec on aptera. Can not speak intelligently about what I don't know. I look to newer solar cells as additional benefit. Better batteries are needed everywhere.

Any details what a solid state capacitor batterie is?
Since a capacitor stores energy as electrons and a battery stores energy by electro plating material.
Two totally different types of physics.
