Gasoline and electricity prices are really high. That’s why a car that does not require charging was designed. It runs on solar energy without even needing to charge it with electricity. In this article, we are here with the solar-powered car: Aptera!
Solar-Powered Car: Aptera
Electric cars are no longer a futuristic future; right today! There are many electric cars in traffic. So, are there any self-charging cars? That technology is not very new, but a manufactured car model that does not require charging has not been produced until today. Until the Aptera engineers did it… Our news is about the solar powered car: Aptera.
Aptera first set out with the dream of producing a three-wheel electric car. However, the company had some bad luck during this period and closed in 2011. Nowadays, Aptera company is with us again with strange ideas. Now it draws attention with a solar-powered car model. It’s a solar powered electric vehicle that never needs to be charged. This car can guide the future of both Aptera company and humanity.

Never Charge Technology Matters!
The car offers freedom to move under the power of the sun. The car is designed to collect enough sunlight to travel over 11,000 miles a year. Aptera battery packs range from 25 kWh to 100 kWh, and the heaviest model weighs around 997 kg. Aptera’s energy efficiency is definitely higher than any other EV offered to date. Aptera offers a range of 10 miles per kWh.
This value is almost twice what Lucid Air offers. The car is a curvy and light vehicle according to the pictures and the specifications described. It has a drag coefficient of just 0.13. For comparison, the drag coefficient of Tesla Model 3 is 0.23 and 0.28 for the Volkswagen ID 4 electric SUV. The front-wheel drive car can accelerate from zero to 100 km / h in 5.5 seconds, and the three-wheel drive model can accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.5 seconds.
