Just for fun, I put a deposit down. 400 mile battery with AWD. Their site shows 184 solar cells with the full solar option, which would work out to roughly 900 watts nameplate capacity, based on the solar panels I helped install last year.

For me, this would likely be a Bolt replacement. But, to do that, I do have a list of must haves. 1. One pedal driving - The Bolt implements this feature perfectly. Aptera should copy this (and make the default drive mode selectable). 2. Optional connectivity - this is why I didn’t buy a Tesla. I do...

Only this doesn’t apply to Black I-MiEVs, as the...

Back at work, it fully charged on level 2 with no issues. Could it be the MiEV remote transceiver having issues and not the charger? A level 1 charge seem...
