I'm doing a project about technology that can help reverse climate change and I choose Aptera as one of them. Do you have any facts about how Aptera is helping reduce emissions, or just general being a green car that can help reduce climate change?
The Aptera Forum
Aptera, along with all EV's, help reduce climate change by lowering the need to burn polluting and CO2 emitting fossil fuels.
By generating most if not all of its own electricity, and needing less electrical energy to go anywhere than other vehicles, it minimizes its impact on the environment.
Also, being roughly half the weight of most EV's, its manufacture uses roughly half the world's resources over other vehicles.
Here are a few links I've gathered exploring the relative impact of EVs on the environment and climate change:
I think Harry's point about generating all of its own electricity is HUGE for global overheating, since it means no greenhouse emissions from powering, maintaining, or expanding the grid (which all still creates at least some emissions) OR from manufacturing & installing additional personal OR public solar cells, windmills, or charging stations.
Also consider that with 1,000-mile range or even 600 or 400, it could eliminate a lot of greenhouse emissions from flying, building high-speed rail, electrifying busses, etc.
All of that will help SLOW the climate crisis. CO2 lasts for centuries in the air, & we're already at an all-time record-high level never before encountered during mankind's entire existence. So it seems to me that the only way to STOP the overheating (let alone "reverse" it as above) is to go to net-zero emissions AND start removing the last century's CO2 from the atmosphere &/or ocean.
