Four years ago, the American company Aptera Motors presented the Aptera concept, a solar-powered electric vehicle. The car is currently in the final stages of development, and the company has also presented the final version of the car.

During the presentation of Aptera Motors, it was announced that the car would have a range of a whopping 1,600 km, which was eventually found to be incorrect. The latest information says that the Aptera, equipped with a 100 kWh battery, will have a range of 644 km on a single charge plus 65 kilometers on solar energy.

The Aptera weighs less than 1,000 kg and an incredibly low air resistance of just 0.13. Also, there will be different types of engines on offer. So far, engine power has not been revealed, but it is known that models with front-wheel drive will accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds, and on all three wheels in 3.5 seconds. The company says the Aptera can be charged via a fast charger in less than an hour.

The company has already received 50,000 orders worth a total of $1.7 billion.
