The Solar-Powered Car Will Cost an Average of US$ 25 Thousand. Consumers Are Already Considering Buying It
The Aptera model, from Californian Aptera Motors, is officially the first solar-powered car to be mass-produced in the world that attracts consumers. With a sleek, comfortable, and mega-futuristic design, the car was inspired by a model of an electric tricycle, with about 10 square meters of solar cells responsible for generating enough electricity to fully power the vehicle, bringing it to life and allowing for multiple daily trips.
