Are wheel covers required for Aptera?
Yes, Aptera’s wheel covers are integral to both functionality and legality. They house secondary lighting elements, including blinkers, which are essential for visibility and compliance with street-legal requirements in many U.S. states. The primary blinkers are mounted on the front “smile,” but the wheel cover lights provide crucial additional signaling. Removing the wheel covers may affect compliance in certain regions due to regulations against exposed tires.
