Aptera, the solar-powered car that can reach acceleration of 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and cover 1,600 km (1,000 miles) in a single charge, is on sale now with the manufacturers announcing the start of pre-bookings.
Aptera is the first never-charge solar electric vehicle that requires no charging for most daily use and charges itself with the power of the sun.
Its solar system can produce more power than most drivers will ever need, claims its founders.
Drawing less than 100 Wh per 1.6 km for everyday driving, Aptera can go five times farther than other electric vehicles with similar solar systems, making it the most efficient solar electric vehicle (sEV) on the planet, they say.
