This Is an Electric Vehicle from the American Company Aptera That Claims You Will Never Need to Charge, After All It Uses Solar Energy.
The truth is that since electric vehicles started to become popular, people have been asking, “Why don’t electric cars have a solar panel roof and use solar energy?” The answer has always been: solar panels simply do not generate enough energy to power an electric vehicle for hours. But Aptera is about to change that in the electric vehicle market.

About the Solar-Powered Electric Vehicle from Aptera
With a two-seater cabin that has a vaguely aircraft-like appearance, the solar-powered electric vehicle from Aptera has an “unprecedented” drag coefficient of just 0.13. Compare this to, say, the “incredibly low” drag coefficient of 0.24 of the Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion concept; it’s miles ahead. It is also entirely made of carbon/kevlar/flax composites in a sandwich core construction, making it very light and also super strong.
The model created by Aptera uses solar energy panels, something that other companies have said is not possible.

Aptera Claims That with the Electric Vehicles It Creates You Will Not Depend on Solar Energy to Hit the Road
And you won’t have to rely on the Sun to get around, the battery sizes also vary, and Aptera says you can get one with 250, 400, or 600 miles (400-, 644-, or 965 km). Or you can go with the big daddy: a 1,600 km battery, likely delivered in a 100 kWh package. To give you an idea of how efficient this three-wheeled vehicle is, the Tesla Model S P100D had a radical increase in efficiency this year and can now achieve 402 miles with the same battery size.
“With Aptera’s Never Charge technology, you are powered by the sun’s energy. Our integrated solar panel keeps your battery charged, and wherever you want to go, just go,” said Aptera co-founder Chris Anthony in a press release. “Never Charge is built into every Aptera and is designed to collect enough sunlight to travel over 11,000 miles a year in most regions.”
