Ten years ago, you couldnât buy a highway-capable electric car with a range exceeding 300 miles. But today, weâre looking at a highway-capable electric vehicle with a 1,000-mile range that sells for a fraction of the cost of many of the EVs on the road today... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy How to MAKE Money by Buying THIS Electric Car Jeff Siegel | Sep 15, 2022 Check out this recent tweet from Elon Musk⦠[musktweet] Iâm a huge electric car bull, and I disagree with this premise. I think itâs bigger than that. The reality is that it wonât be long before we view gasoline cars the same way we view horses and buggies today. Sure, internal combustion vehicles still work, but in terms of technology, theyâre absolutely headed toward the dustbin of history. Not that internal combustion hasnât brought us many great things. One could successfully argue that without the internal combustion engine, we wouldnât be nearly as advanced a civilization as we are today. The same could be said for a lot of other technologies too. Typewriters, fax machines, rotary phones... They all served their purpose in amazing ways. But technologies advance and, unless you run a secondhand store, youâre not really going to see these technological relics anymore. Weâve moved on to bigger and better things. And such is the case with personal transportation too. Yes, the transition away from internal combustion IS happening, and to deny that this is the direction weâre heading would be, for lack of a better word, stupid. Truth is, aside from folks worried about range issues and the ability to quickly charge an electric vehicle on long trips, these cars and trucks are already superior to their internal combustion counterparts. They have lower maintenance costs, lower fuel costs, are environmentally friendlier (not completely environmentally benign but better than internal combustion), and aren't held hostage by the threat of oil supply disruptions. And in terms of charging times and range, those obstacles are less than 10 years away from being overcome. In fact, last week, electric vehicle startup Aptera Motors unveiled the newest version of its electric car, which boasts a range of 1,000 miles. No, thatâs not a misprint. One thousand miles. That means, with this vehicle, you could drive from Boston to Chicago without stopping once. Although I wouldnât recommend driving 1,000 miles without a couple bathroom breaks. Buy Alert For $2 Coin The man who picked Bitcoin in 2014 when it was trading for just $369... picked Ethereum in 2016 when it was trading for just $7, AND even warned his followers of the 2020 crash. Now he believes a tiny $2 coin is set to SOAR! Maybe even as soon as this month. So if you missed Bitcoin and Ethereum... this could be your final chance at mind boggling crypto gains. Learn how to get in front of this massive opportunity. [Click here now before it's too late.]( Now, the reason this vehicle can deliver such impressive range is because while other carmakers are trying to increase the range of these vehicles by adding more batteries, which add weight and significant production costs, Aptera has been focusing on the efficiency of the vehicle itself in an effort to require fewer batteries to run it â and fewer batteries result in lower costs since batteries are the most expensive part of electric vehicles. The carâs undercarriage actually mimics the belly of a dolphin and, because of the way itâs curved at the nose (wide along the sides and tapered toward the trunk, much like an aircraft), itâs able to significantly reduce drag (the force of flowing air against the motion of the vehicle). The result is a unique shape that allows Aptera to use 30% less energy than any other electric car (or hybrid vehicle) on the road today. The car also weighs 65% less than other electric vehicles on the market, as the body is built with ultra-lightweight composites. Its arched shape also mimics the physics of an eggshell, offering a safety cell seven times stronger than steel. This, dear reader, is what we mean when we talk about the evolution of technology. Ten years ago, you couldnât buy a highway-capable electric car with a range exceeding 300 miles. In fact, youâd actually be pretty hard-pressed to find one getting anywhere close to that. But today, weâre looking at a highway-capable electric car with a 1,000-mile range that sells for a fraction of the cost of many of the electric cars on the road today... because Apteraâs vehicle comes in at around $45,000 â and thatâs for the 1,000-mile-range model. Donât need 1,000 miles? Youâll also be able to buy a lower-range Aptera with a 250-mile range for $30,000. And thatâs before any tax credits. If the Aptera car qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit, that would bring the price down to $22,500. And if you live in a state where there is a state tax credit, that price falls even more. In Colorado, the state tax credit is $5,000, so theoretically, that would bring the cost down to $17,500. If you drive an internal combustion vehicle, over the course of 10 years, youâre likely to spend about $10,000 on gas and another $10,000 on oil changes and other maintenance costs that are not required for electric vehicles. Figure those costs into the equation, and youâre actually making money on this thing. The New Emperor of Energy Storage Youâre looking at the future of a $3.3 trillion industry. Thanks to this groundbreaking innovation, clean energy can be fed to the power grid 24/7... Regardless of whether the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. I call it the "Newton Battery," and it crushes every other battery on the market. The Swiss and the Saudis are already using it. And grids across the globe will be using this battery before we know it. Itâs all possible thanks to one tiny companyâs patented tech. The best part is that 99% of investors have no idea that it just went public... [Get in on the ground floor now, before it's too late.]( But Wait, Thereâs More! Beyond being particularly inexpensive compared with other electric vehicles on the market, you could actually never even have to plug it in, thanks to an integrated solar roof that provides enough charge for a 40-mile range. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the average driver in the U.S. drives 29 miles per day. So letâs say you drive 29 miles to work, put in your eight hours, and when you leave, have enough juice to drive another 29 miles home. With this car, it is entirely possible to never have to plug in, which essentially means free âfuel.â And, of course, as solar cell technology continues to improve, so will the range of these vehicles. Some engineers Iâve spoken with tell me that they see no reason why future generations of electric cars wonât be able to travel in excess of 100 miles just on integrated solar power alone. That being said, weâre not there yet. But boy, have we come a long way in just 10 years. And the next 10 are going to be even more exciting if youâre a fan of technology and progress, and want to profit from them as well. Now, Aptera is not a public company, but thereâs another company thatâs also integrating solar into its electric vehicles, and those vehicles are delivering even longer ranges using solar alone. This company is publicly traded too! This particular company has been able to embed solar cells into the plastic body panels on the roof and the sides of its vehicle. With these solar cells integrated into the entire body of the car (not just the roof), the vehicle can deliver 70 miles' worth of range. Of course, we use our vehicles for more than just driving back and forth to work, but this solar-electric vehicle also offers the ability to power up using a typical electric vehicle charger. At full charge, it delivers a short range of about 190 miles. However, the solar cells still charge the vehicle while itâs driving, so with the solar-cell integration, the range can exceed 200 miles, which is roughly what most base-level electric cars offer today. The car will also soon sell for less than $30,000, and thatâs before any tax credits, which can exceed $12,000 depending upon where you live. The company already has more than 20,000 pre-orders (or $600 million worth of pre-orders), and they continue to roll in. The technology is fascinating and, quite frankly, it looks like itâs beating a lot of other electric car manufacturers to the punch with its solar integration â including Tesla! I actually wrote [a short report]( on how the companyâs technology works, as well as a breakdown of why this could be one of the first electric car companies to actually rival Tesla.

Musk believes building a lithium refining plant in the U.S. is going to be the answer to the problems draining the company's time and resources. He was even bold enough to call this new venture "a license to print money." But there are a few problems with this plan... First, Tesla has to apply for the permits. And if these are approved, the earliest this plant would start producing wouldnât be until 2024 at least. Second, we have to take Elon Muskâs word that this will really happen and benefit the company. However, heâs notorious for promising you 12 and delivering six â if he delivers at all. (Remember the Twitter deal?) Third, and by far the most problematic, lithium batteries are going to be obsolete by the time Muskâs and Teslaâs lithium battery refining operation is underway, let alone profitable. It seems as if this is another desperate attempt at raising Teslaâs stock price without actually getting anything done. Meanwhile, [there is a company that EXCEEDS Teslaâs sales numbers](, and itâs only one-fourth of its size! Few North American investors are aware of Teslaâs twin, but that wonât last for long. While Tesla scrambles to make moves to remain relevant, this company is making moves to take the lead in the EV race. [See for yourself right here.]( [Fb]( [Li]( [Tw]( This email was sent to {EMAIL}.
