APTERA UNVEILS WORLD’S FIRST “NEVER CHARGE” ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Power Required for Most Driving to Come From the Sun, Not the Grid
Aptera Motors, makers of the world’s most efficient passenger vehicles, introduces Never Charge, an integrated solar-charging option that means never having to charge your car again. This is the first solar vehicle-charging system capable of meeting well over the mileage needs of most drivers.
“A no-fuel transportation option is finally possible, the result of Aptera’s efficient vehicle technology and today’s leading solar cells,” said Aptera co-CEO Steve Fambro. “This is a genuinely off-grid solution and something that can power my home. I’ll feel much better about my energy-use footprint with an Aptera in my driveway.”
The Aptera, which can go 1,000 miles on a single charge, is four times more efficient than the average EV. At 100 watthours per mile, it boasts the lowest energy consumption of any electric vehicle on the road. A modest solar complement integrated into the surface of the Aptera’s body can now supply up to 40 miles’ worth of power per day and more than 11,000 miles of total charge per year with no impact on performance.
Never Charge is the first offering to provide truly grid-independent transportation. It will allow drivers to use the excess power they generate to run their homes or feed it back to the grid at night. It also precludes Aptera from having to incorporate a rapid-charging solution into the vehicle or build out a proprietary charging network.
Initially available as part of a special-edition package, Never Charge will ultimately be an option for any Aptera vehicle. Option details and pricing will be announced in coming months, prior to the start of pre-orders.
