Solar car maker Aptera has "officially announced a repair network partnership which will give owners of its upcoming solar electric car access to thousands of repair shops nationwide," [1]reports Electrek :

> We recently got a chance to [2]drive the Aptera solar EV and [3]tour the company's factory , and came away both impressed at the progress that has been made, but cognizant of the long road ahead for the company. One question that often gets raised in reference to EV startups is how owners get service on their vehicles, especially those from a small company... So to waylay those fears, Aptera announced a partnership today that unlocks access to 4,300 service shops across the US, through a company called [4]RepairPal . Aptera had been working on this partnership when we saw them at our factory tour, but today they're ready to officially announce it.

> RepairPal doesn't own its own shops, but instead certifies local shops to work on particular models of car... All shops will get access to Aptera-specific service procedures.
