With the recent launch of their innovate “Never Charge” solar powered vehicle, Californian startup, Aptera Motors is big news in the automotive industry. And, while you might not have heard of them yet, believe me when I say that you will, and when you do, you might want to know a little more about the company and how they are about to change the way we look at electric vehicles.
Originally founded back in 2006 under the name Accelerated Composites, Aptera Motors is one of the industry’s most innovative startups. The company had a rough start as the automotive industry was not ready for their kind of forward thinking yet, so the company was liquidated just a few short years later. It was resurrected in 2012 by Zhejiang Jonway Group, a Chinese auto manufacturer. Zhejiang Jonway Group created two companies out of their purchase, Zaptera USA to build electric cars and Aptera USA to build gasoline-powered cars.
Recently, however, Aptera was re-formed by Chris Anthony and Steve Fambro. Through a successful crowdfunding campaign, the Aptera team is able to develop and produce vehicles again, namely the Aptera Never Charge solar powered vehicle. When asked about their innovative solar-powered three-wheeler, Aptera co-founder stated, “We’ve always wanted to use [solar-power] at Aptera, but cell efficiency was just never good enough to be valuable till recently. Now we can take power from the sun, send it right to your battery with little loss in efficiency, and take you up to 44 miles a day for free! We think it really is the best option for powering Aptera around the world.”
With solar power being free and easy to obtain, Aptera’s Never Charge solar powered vehicle could be the answer to the automotive industry’s question of “What’s next?” as electric vehicles suffer from limited range and not enough charging stations.
The World’s First Never Charge Electric Vehicle!
While many solar powered vehicles are still in the prototype stages, there is one company whose solar powered vehicles are already on the road. Aptera, has launched the world’s first Never Charge electric vehicle. With one of the automotive industry’s most innovative on-vehicle solar packages, the Aptera “Never Charge” Solar enables you to travel more than 40 miles a day, and over 11,000 miles per year, without ever having to plug in.
Replaceable Solar Panels
One feature that the Aptera solar powered vehicle offers that you won’t find on any other solar powered vehicle is the ability to replace the solar panels as they reach their life cycle. This makes maintaining the Aptera Never Charge solar powered vehicle less expensive and makes it that much more sustainable of a vehicle to own and drive.
