Full Charge at Purchase?

[soaringsam]

I bought another EV back in May and prior to my arrival at the dealer, it was plugged in to their level 2 charger and charged up to 80% state of charge as I had asked for. So, I am pretty sure you will be able to ask for your new Aptera to be charged up as much as you want.

@Lane Costilow It’s pretty much the same as buying any ICE vehicle: They start you off with a full tank of fuel as a goodwill gesture. In some cases, they’ll deliver your new vehicle to your home or place of business.

When I purchased a PHEV, the dealership filled the tank AND charged the battery.

Taking advice from both of you, I will “trust but verify”. I expect it
to be fully charged (or nearly so) but will check with Aptera to be sure.
Thanks, guys.

Assuming its sitting outside for a week before you pick it up, it will likely have a completely full charge.

That’s the point of the car 🤣

That was a good question about how ful they are charged when you purchase them. I thought the Aptera would be my first electric car. Now I’m going to replace my 1992 Toyota pickup with a 2023 Tesla model 3. The Tesla is scheduled to be here between December 2022 and January 2023, we will see when my Aptera gets here, which has missed December 2021 and December 2022 delivery dates.
