According to Electrek, Aptera's car is one of the more power efficient EV offerings on the market, as the car sports a lightweight three-wheel design and has a drag coefficient of only 0.13, which enables the car to get 400 kilometers of range even with the smaller battery option.

With the larger set of batteries, the innovative EV is able to get up to 1.600 kilometers on a charge.

By fitting the car with 700W solar panels, you can get up to 64 kilometers of range per day just by parking the car in a sunny area.

With the car starting at 25.900 USD, the company was able to secure over 22.000 reservations for its solar-powered EV.

Aptera plans to use the latest 40 million USD investment in order to bring its vehicle into production by the end of 2022.

"During this historic funding round, over $40 million has been committed in our offering under Regulation A+, and we credit the many individuals and institutions who have taken part for their role as a driving force in the successes we’ve achieved", said company officials.
