Aptera Motors has revealed a production-ready solar electric vehicle at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), in Las Vegas.
Making its public debut at the event, Aptera said the car is the first solar-powered EV designed to eliminate the need for plugging in for most daily driving needs.
The vehicle has a range of 400 miles, when fully charged, and up to 40 miles of driving range can be added each day using solar technology.
Mains charging is also supported, with a full charge taking one hour.
The car is equipped with four solar panels strategically placed on the bonnet, dash, roof and hatch of the vehicle.
“Today marks a pivotal moment not only for Aptera but for the future of sustainable transportation,” said Chris Anthony, Co-CEO of Aptera Motors. “This vehicle embodies years of innovation and relentless pursuit of energy-efficient mobility. CES is the perfect stage to share our vision and invite the world to join us in creating a cleaner, solar-powered future.”
