With solar cells that offer up to 64 miles of daily range without recharging, 1.000 miles of range per charge, and an aerodynamic design created by Pininfarina, Aptera's solar electric vehicle promises to redefine energy efficiency at CES 2025.
CES 2025, the world’s largest consumer technology trade show, is the stage chosen by Aptera to showcase its innovative solar electric vehicle. The San Diego startup promises to revolutionize sustainable mobility, presenting a car that combines energy efficiency, futuristic design and cutting-edge technology. Could this be the future of mobility?
The future of sustainable mobility
The Aptera concept is simple but powerful: an electric vehicle that uses solar energy to power your daily commute. With 700 watts of solar cells integrated into its body, the car can travel up to 64 miles per day without needing to be plugged into the grid. Imagine never again being dependent solely on a charger; it’s like having the sun as your own private gas station.
The base model offers a battery range of 400 miles (643,7 km), while an advanced option promises an impressive 1.000 miles (1.609 km). That's like traveling from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro and back on just one charge!
- Company launches the smallest and most POWERFUL electric bike motor in history — It's smaller than an iPhone and weighs just 1,2 kg
- BYD, the world's first flex electric cars and controversy
- Norway is on track to reach 100% ELECTRIC CARS by 2025: A future that is already a reality!
- Is Mexico the new China? The country presents the electric car that is cheaper than a motorcycle and 4 times cheaper than a BYD
Partnership with Pininfarina: Innovative design and aerodynamics
To achieve such efficiency, Aptera teamed up with the renowned Pininfarina, an Italian company famous for designing iconic cars. The focus was to optimize the vehicle's aerodynamics, reducing its air resistance as much as possible. The result? One of the lowest drag coefficients ever recorded in a passenger vehicle: only 0,13.
According to Giuseppe Bonollo of Pininfarina, “We have always made aerodynamics an essential component in design. We are thrilled to have supported the aerodynamic validation of Aptera with unique results.”
This combination of innovative design and energy efficiency puts Aptera at the forefront of the sustainable mobility market.
Solar Electric Vehicle Technical Specifications
In addition to its aerodynamic efficiency and impressive range, Aptera’s solar electric vehicle has other standout features:
- Top speed: 101 mph (162,5 km/h).
- Acceleration: 0 to 60 mph in about 4 seconds with all-wheel drive.
- Launch Mode: A function for those who want to feel maximum torque from the start.
With a light weight and futuristic design, the vehicle promises to deliver not only economy, but also an exciting driving experience.
A long road to production
Aptera’s journey has not been without its challenges. Since 2007, the company has faced ups and downs, including funding interruptions and production delays. But the team’s perseverance has paid off. In 2023, the Launch Edition finally came to fruition, and now, in 2025, CES marks an important milestone in Aptera’s journey.
Visitors to the show will have the chance to see the vehicle up close at booth CP-517 in Central Plaza. It is a historic moment for a company that dared dream big.
Next steps for Aptera
With its CES debut, Aptera takes a crucial step toward mass production. The vehicle is expected to hit the streets soon, redefining how we view sustainable transportation.
If Aptera can deliver on its promises, it could set a new standard in the automotive industry and pave the way for a new era of electric vehicles.
Aptera’s solar electric vehicle isn’t just a car, it’s a glimpse into the future. It combines advanced technology, smart design and sustainability into one innovative package.
If it’s up to Aptera, the future of mobility will be cleaner, more efficient and literally powered by the sun. Are you ready to join this revolution?
