07:53 AM EST, 11/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Aptera Motors ( SEV ) said Tuesday it has started building out its validation line in preparation for its planned low-volume vehicle assembly at its Southern California facility.

Engineers and technicians are refining the systems, tools, and procedures while suppliers have started delivery of Aptera's body in carbon components and chassis assemblies, the company said.

Aptera said it will need $65 million in funding to complete the current stage and begin low-volume production.
