Aptera's Unique Solar Powered EV
Claims to Be World's Most Efficient Vehicle
Driving on Sunshine
San Diego, CA based Aptera Motors is a startup focused on developing very high efficiency electric vehicles. It has developed one of the most promising solar powered vehicles going into production. Aptera's 3-wheeled solar electric car is revolutionary travel technology. Aptera is designed for an average daily commute of 40 miles without any recharge. It can travel 40 miles a day on pure sunshine converted to electricity by its integrated solar panels. It charges as it drives. And if the travel distance is greater than 40 miles, a charge will add an additional 1,000 miles of range. That is the longest range delivered by any electric vehicle to date. This solar EV may be the benchmark zero emissions car to beat. The price starts at $25,900.
Many Upgrades Are Being Incorporated
Aptera has been testing, tweaking and upgrading its Beta prototype vehicle to take it into production. It has upgraded the solar panels to allow them to be switched out as new solar cell technology becomes available. The EV's 2.4 sq. meters of solar cell panels have been bullet proofed for harsh weather conditions like hail. They have also undergone testing for maximum efficiency. The car's body is 3D printed and designed for aerodynamic efficiency so that it uses less energy than other EVs on the road. It is expected to use only 100 Wh of power per mile, which would make it the most efficient EV. Aptera Motors has also significantly upgraded the solar car's stability, maneuverability and turning radius. That is very important because this is a car driving on three wheels, which could be tippy.
Next Steps
The solar EV is going into production. 13,000 of them have already been reserved by customers for a refundable $100. The company hopes to start producing Aptera at the level of 40 cars per day. The Aptera is a zero emissions vehicle to watch. It has breakthrough technology, a sleek and stylish design and very high energy efficiency with its aerodynamic body and 3 wheels. Also, it holds the lead among EVs in range and, in comparison to other EVs, it is relatively inexpensive.
