Aptera Motors Corp. (SEV) entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Shanghai Launch Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., under which Launch will act as manufacturing and contract-engineering partner, providing manufacturing, engineering, tooling and testing services under future work orders. As consideration, Aptera agreed to pay Launch up to RMB 300,000,000, consisting of two-thirds of each approved work-order invoice in cash up to RMB 200,000,000 and one-third through warrants up to RMB 100,000,000 in total. On the effective date, Aptera issued 3,369,629 five-year warrants valued at RMB 50,000,000 with a $2.20 exercise price, which become exercisable only as they are credited against approved invoices. Later warrants will have an exercise price at least equal to the Nasdaq Minimum Price on signing and not less than $2.25, and exercises are limited by a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap and a 19.99% exchange cap unless required stockholder approval is obtained. The warrants and underlying shares were issued in an unregistered offshore offering under Regulation S.
Aptera Motors Corp (SEV) announced a strategic partnership and investment agreement with Shanghai Launch Automotive Technology (Launch Design) to support the move from prototype to high-volume production of its solar EV. Launch is a design-for-manufacturing company with more than 3,000 employees and a track record of over 400 vehicle models.
The production program is valued at up to $44 million (RMB 300 million), covering assembly fixtures and tooling, vehicle testing, pilot builds, and high-volume production. Initial fixtures and parts target the first 40 production vehicles, which the parties aim to begin building in the fourth quarter of 2026. Aptera will pay two-thirds of approved program costs in cash and the remaining one-third (up to about $15 million) in stock warrants, conserving cash and aligning Launch’s incentives with Aptera’s equity value. Aptera expects to fund its share through existing resources, previously announced financings, and additional debt or equity, and notes that its ability to continue as a going concern depends on successfully raising more capital.

Aptera Motors Corp. reports that the California Energy Commission has revised the milestone schedule tied to its grant funding. The CEC confirmed that the grant agreement remains in place and that Aptera is still eligible for funds if it meets the updated milestones. However, future reimbursements will now depend on achieving these milestones rather than simply on the timing of spending. Because of this change, Aptera does not expect to receive any additional grant reimbursements in 2025. The company also cautions that its ability to meet current or future milestones, and therefore receive the full anticipated grant amount, cannot be assured.
