Hace diez a\u00f1os se cre\u00f3 un coche ultraligero de tres ruedas y dos plazas llamado Aptera, promocionado como el coche el\u00e9ctrico m\u00e1s eficiente del mundo, pero la empresa californiana tuvo problemas y tuvo que liquidarse. Ahora sus fundadores se han reunido de nuevo para trabajar en un nuevo Aptera, que dicen puede alcanzar una autonom\u00eda de 1.600 km con una sola carga. <\/p>\n
El veh\u00edculo consigue su incre\u00edble eficiencia energ\u00e9tica gracias al dise\u00f1o aerodin\u00e1mico y a los materiales ligeros, y ahora el equipo de Aptera dispone de muchos m\u00e1s y mucho mejores componentes para VE que hace diez a\u00f1os. Su objetivo sigue siendo fabricar el coche el\u00e9ctrico de mayor eficiencia energ\u00e9tica del mundo.<\/p>\n
Con el nuevo modelo Aptera, del que a\u00fan no se ha fabricado un prototipo, la empresa californiana planea ofrecer diferentes bater\u00edas de 40 a 100 kWh. Estas \u00faltimas proporcionar\u00edan 1.600 km de autonom\u00eda, lo que significar\u00eda que el veh\u00edculo el\u00e9ctrico consume menos de 100 vatios-hora por kil\u00f3metro. A modo de comparaci\u00f3n, el Model 3 Standard Range Plus de Tesla tiene una eficiencia de 250 vatios-hora por milla.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

To get an idea of the radical differences in this experimental model to other electric cars, the Aptera team said that the 60-kWh Aptera version will weigh about 800 kg (1,800 pounds) \u2013 which is half the weight of the four-seater Nissan Leaf Plus with a 62-kWh battery, and is EPA-rated to have only 310 watt-hours per mile \u2013 one third of the efficiency of the Aptera.<\/p>\n
It would be interesting to know what kind of person would go for this unusual-looking vehicle that is sure to attract attention on the road. The original model ten years ago received purchase deposits from 4,400 Californians, and the company said the numbers would have been higher had they not limited orders to customers within California.<\/p>\n
What Aptera makers have not said is what speeds the vehicle can reach, but carmakers usually say that speeds of over 120 km\/h wildly tax the energy efficiency, so much so that Volvo has voluntarily<\/a> put a speed limit on its electric vehicles at 180 km\/h \u2013 that is a good deal over most highway limits anyway (except in Germany).<\/p>\n Still, it is a pretty weird-looking vehicle, (though not less attention-seeking than an ultra sportscar) but the efficiency challenge should not only provide some drivers with incredibly low refuelling bills and fewer stops but hopefully help inform the rest of the industry on the boundaries and hurdles they face in their bold endeavour.<\/p>\n
