This is an electric vehicle from the North American company Aptera that claims that you will never need to charge it, after all it uses solar energy.
The truth is that since electric vehicles started to become popular, people have asked themselves “why do electric cars not have a solar panel roof and use solar energy?” The answer has always been: Solar panels simply don't generate enough energy to power an electric vehicle for hours. But aptera is about to change that in the electric vehicle market.

About Aptera's solar-powered electric vehicle
With a vaguely aeronautical-looking two-seater cabin, Aptera's solar-powered electric vehicle has an "unprecedented" drag coefficient of just 0,13. Contrast that with, say, the Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion concept's "incredibly low" 0,24 drag coefficient; it's miles ahead. It's also entirely constructed of carbon/kevlar/linen composites on a sandwich core construction, making it very light and also super tough.
The model created by Aptera uses solar energy panels, something that other companies said was not possible.
Aptera claims that with the electric vehicles created by it, you will not depend on solar energy to go out on the streets
And you won't have to rely on the sun to get you around, battery sizes vary too, and Aptera says you'll be able to buy one with 250, 400 or 600 miles (400-, 644- or 965 km). Or you can go with the big daddy: a 1.600km battery, likely delivered in a 100kWh package. To give you an idea of just how efficient this three-wheeler is, the Model S P100D from Tesla It's had a radical increase in efficiency this year and can now get 402 miles from the same battery size.
“With Aptera's Never Charge technology, you're powered by the power of the sun. Our built-in solar panel keeps your battery charged and wherever you want to go, just go," Aptera co-founder Chris Anthony said 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.”
