Hi Chris,
How good are the odds that we will see Flux tech in the Aptera 2e/h/g?
Chris…
Good luck on the launch next month. As a suggestion, you should find a fledgling EV car company and team up with them to provide battery and charging systems! If you look around your local area, you might find one.
Call me crazy, but it’s just an idea.

Can your 12v Fe PO4 batteries be used for stationary back-up residential or small commerical power with stackable inverters?
Do you or will you have 24V batteries or just the 12V sizes?
Have been looking for ‘ advanced’ battery config., for appropriate inverter units for sometime now. Battery / cell technology up til now, has not been efficient nor cost effective enough for purposes, I am seeking.
Can your batteries handle desert summer heat cycle.. ie. 105-117deg. ?
I’m cautiously optomistic about your product. I believe the phosphate lithium battery is a better configuration, for many obvious reasons. Congratulations.
PS. – R U on the pink sheets or a Pennystock yet?? If not, let me know when you are…..

Mr. Anthony,
Clearly you have learned – If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.
My hats off to you sir. Since no one else made an affordable, smart charge/discharge system, you made your own.
As a possible owner of one of your chargers, the features I would like to have are:
1) Charge By Time: This is where you tell the charger to have the batteries 100% full at 8:00 am every morning.
2) Charge By Current: This is where you tell the charger to take no more that X Amps. (I have a 12 Amp generator).
3) Auto Fast Charge: The charger varies its current to maintain a 10 Volt drop.
4) Auto Safe Charge: The charger varies its current to maintain a 1 Volt drop.
Thank you,

Thanks for the encouraging words!
John: The odds are good that a lot of people will be interested in our high power energy storage solutions. The life extending cell management that we apply to all of our systems will help lower overall system costs and certainly be beneficial in many different industries, though I would hate to speculate so early on as to whom might end up using our technologies in their products.
Jim: Right down the street…huh…
Greg: Our cells are perfectly suited to the application you’ve described. Initially all our our systems will be based around 12v multiples but we have already had interest in 48v cells so I could see that happening in the future. And our cells are actually happier at the higher temps that you listed so they might be great for your application though if you are not space constrained I would look in to AGM batteries as well. Our batteries are great technology if you need longevity, communication and are space and weight constrained but for most smaller systems people opt for much more basic technology. And we are not listed on any exchange yet but were excited about our growth potential and would not rule out giving people the opportunity to invest in our success in the future.
Anthony: The features you’ve requested are: “done and done”. At least that is the feedback from our engineers. We will soon have more product specs available for you to check out.
Again, thank you all for the kind words,

We were at the San Diego Clean Fuels education day. There were a lot of production EVs including Tesla, Nissan, Chevy (yes, they had the volt there). The one thing they are all still working on is batteries. All these companies know how to make cars. They know all the details of suspension, brakes, steering, seats, etc. Batteries and drive systems are still in their infancy with these vehicles.
Chargers are the next in line. They had a seminar on the charging infrastructure going into San Diego. A lot of players are attempting to build chargers and charging stations and saying there is a “standard”, but from what I have seen, it’s just not so…yet. I saw 7 different plugs on all the EVs at the show. Luckily, our charger has the capabilities and adaptability no matter which standards/connectors are used.
It was a good show. It really proves to me we are on the right track of battery system development. It’s an exciting time and I think we have a GREAT running start.

This looks like an amazing company!! I am very interested in learning more about the marine applications, as well as becoming a potential dealer!
