Driving on Sunshine and Three Wheels

San Diego, CA-based Aptera Motors has a new solar-powered car that looks like a spaceship that just landed from Mars.  But this is a highly advanced solar-electric powered vehicle that can double as a camper.  The vehicle runs on three wheels and gets a range of 1,000 miles on a charge along with a daily 40 miles extra range from the Sun.  Given the astronomical price of gas, it may be well worth the investment.  You'd be driving on sunshine instead of $7/gallon carbon polluting gasoline.  For Aptera Motors, they're time may have come.

Going Camping

What is so very cool about the Aptera is that it can be configured as a camper.  The trunk space is large and it can be converted into a covered tent for campers.  The vehicle itself can serve as a charging station for electronic devices.  It's a very innovative, green and unusual offering in the global automotive market.  

Tech Specs

Aptera is designed to directly compete against combustion engine vehicles.  The vehicle is all about aerodynamics and energy efficiency. The base model starts at $25,900 and can be reserved for purchase on the company website. The base model provides 250 miles of range on a charge and an extra 16 miles a day from the solar panels, if the sun is shining. The top-of-the-line-model costs $57,000.  It provides 1,000 miles of range on a charge and an additional 40 miles a day in range from the solar panel system. Aptera is an important new vehicle type for the future of driving.
