Aptera’s first unveiled plans for an electric vehicle way back in 2007, and since then, it’s evolved into a never charge solar-powered electric vehicle. The 3-wheeled vehicle can travel up to 1,000-miles on pure sunlight, thanks in part to its 700 watts of solar capacity, which is capable of harvestoing 4.4 kwh of energy per day in ideal conditions. You could also opt for additional solar panels that cover the rear hatch for an extra 40-miles of range per day. Read more for an up-close look and additional information.
Aside from the 700 watts of solar capacity, it features two passenger seats and boasts 25 cubic feet of rear cargo space. Its liquid-cooled electric motors enable to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, while topping out at 110 mph. To date, the company has received over $4-million in funding, notching over 13,000 pre-orders in the process. Now if you were to add a camper to the rear of this 3-wheeled vehicle, it could become the ultimate off-grid camper.

With Aptera’s Never Charge technology, you are driven by the power of the sun. Our built-in solar array keeps your battery pack topped off and anywhere you want to go, you just go. It starts with a math equation, which means first aerodynamics, because what you don’t realize is that with a typical sedan you use 60% of your fuel just pushing air out of the way,” said Chris Anthony, Aptera Co-Founder.
