Aptera Motors Corp Drives First Five Validation Vehicles Off the Line Aptera Motors Corp. has announced that five validation vehicles have been driven off its newly established low-volume validation assembly line. Each vehicle has been built on Aptera's low-volume validation assembly line in Carlsbad, California, where trained technicians move through 14 stations using processes designed to scale. Running multiple vehicles through the line in sequence validates not only the vehicle itself, but the system required to build it consistently. With each successive build, the team has improved cycle times, refined workflows, and discovered improvements to carry onto future vehicle builds. The results are continuous improvements to a production system that is becoming faster, more efficient, and more predictable with every vehicle built. The validation fleet will continue to expand and move through a comprehensive testing program covering road performance, durability, safety verification, software and firmware integration, and real-world solar energy collection. With nearly 50,000 reservations on record, this milestone represents a critical step in transitioning from development to production. Announcement • Apr 16

Aptera Motors Corp Completes First Vehicle Off Validation Assembly Line Aptera Motors Corp. has completed the first vehicle off its validation assembly line, marking a major operational milestone as the company progresses toward regulatory certification and initial customer deliveries. The company’s low-volume validation assembly line represents Aptera’s transition from hand-built validation vehicles to a structured assembly line process. The line consists of 14 dedicated stations, where vehicles are assembled by a team of vehicle line technicians, enabling repeatable builds, process verification, and optimization. Vehicles produced on the low-volume validation line are allocated to specific testing programs, including thermal validation, brake performance, and some destructive testing. These efforts support the company’s advancement toward regulatory self-certification, EPA certification, and progress toward delivering sellable vehicles. The low-volume validation assembly line is being used to verify and refine the installation process for every major vehicle system. This allows the team to optimize build sequences, improve assembly procedures, and refine station layouts as preparation continues for the next phase of series volume assembly. Vehicles will continue rolling off the low-volume validation assembly line in the coming weeks as Aptera expands its validation fleet and advances through required testing and certification milestones. With nearly 50,000 vehicle reservations representing over $2 billion in potential revenue, Aptera remains focused on disciplined execution as it works toward its target of delivering vehicles to customers later this year.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$89.0m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (23% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$101k sold). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$89.0m market cap). Recent Insider Transactions • Jan 11

Aptera Motors Corp. Initiates Validation Line as Next Step Toward Scaled Manufacturing Aptera Motors Corp. has begun building out its validation vehicle assembly line, a critical step that lays the foundation for its future low-volume production line at the company's Southern California assembly facility. The new line represents a tangible move from prototype builds to a structured, repeatable assembly process. Engineers and technicians are now refining the systems, tools, and procedures that will guide Aptera's transition into scalable manufacturing. At the heart of the new setup is a large-scale precision assembly fixture that enables Aptera's Body in Carbon (BinC) to be built with exceptional dimensional accuracy. The fixture enhances throughput, ensures consistency, and establishes a technical baseline for Aptera's future expansion into low-volume assembly. Aptera has expanded its operations team and continues to hire engineers and assembly line technicians to support the buildout. With BinC components and chassis assemblies now arriving from supply chain partners, the company has begun assembling validation vehicles through this repeatable process. The validation assembly process will allow Aptera to optimize every stage of low-volume vehicle assembly, from materials handling to final fit and finish, in preparation for customer-ready production. To advance through this stage and initiate low-volume production, the Company estimates it will require $65 million in funding, consistent with its previously disclosed plans. Announcement • Oct 24
