Join us for the
EVA Annual Meeting!

Getting There

San Diego International is the closest “big” airport to fly into, which is about 35 miles south of the Aptera facility via I-5 N. Click here for directions from the airport to the facility. Unfortunately there are no public transportation options, but you can rent EVs through Hertz, Turo, or Pacific Ride Tesla Rentals, a local Tesla rental option. Use code EVA for 10% off any rental!
