Aptera Successfully Tests First Production Solar-Powered EV with 400-Mile Range
California-based Aptera Motors has completed the test drive of its first production model, the Aptera PI-2—a sleek, three-wheeled, solar-powered electric vehicle. This innovative two-seater EV is designed for maximum efficiency, offering a range of 400 miles on a single charge and an additional 40 miles daily from integrated solar panels.
The Aptera EV is equipped with North American Charging Standard (NACS) capabilities, similar to Tesla, reducing the need for frequent charging stops. Priced at $33,200, the base model accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in under six seconds and has already received over 50,000 pre-orders, with deliveries slated for Q2 2025. Advanced versions offer up to 1,000 miles of range and even faster acceleration.
With more than $100 million raised since launching its crowdfunding program, Aptera Motors continues to fine-tune its production models, focusing on solar charging efficiency and sustainable performance, paving the way for the future of green transportation
