PARTNERS

Innovation Partner

What if we told you that you could charge your vehicle just by parking it in the sun? This idea is no longer just on the pages of science fiction– we’re making this a reality. Leading the solar revolution, Aptera is the first SEV that requires no charging for most daily use.  

How is this possible? Aptera uses the sun to enhance its range and charging options.  Aptera can charge up to 40 miles a day from its solar cells alone. This solar energy is conserved by Aptera’s aerodynamic design–fundamentally solving significant energy loss from drag. In other words, Aptera only uses 1/3 of the energy of a typical EV, charges 4x as fast, and gets 4x more mileage per battery charge. Our top battery range gives drivers 1,000 miles per charge – and that's on top of the 40 miles per day from solar charging.  

What does this mean for people and the planet? Each Aptera member can reduce their carbon footprint by 14,000 pounds of CO2 per year. We’re also making clean transportation more accessible and more affordable to communities where EV charging infrastructure is sparse. With a less prohibitive price point and freedom from electric chargers, we’re starting a revolution, transforming transportation for everyone–for generations to come.
