In recent years, many innovations have emerged in the automotive field, many of which have been marked by the ever greater need to combine daily mobility and respect for the environment . It is no coincidence that electric cars are more and more common today, and no longer a sort of “technological mirage” as it was a few years ago.
What we are going to tell you about is a very special vehicle, not only for its aesthetic appearance , but also and above all for the technological innovations that it conceals. It does not require frequent recharging, it guarantees record range and offers performance worthy of a real sports car. All of this in an “guise” that to define futuristic would be an understatement.

It is produced by Aptera , a Californian start-up specializing in energy-efficient vehicles. At first glance, this car looks like a science fiction movie, with its almost “floating” appearance. Let’s start by saying that it has three wheels and that it is equipped with a technology called ” Never Charge “, and that name is already quite a program.

It is certainly this characteristic which makes this electric car interesting and “different”. On its roof, there are about three square meters of solar panels , which have the task of recharging the battery with energy derived from what nature provides us. With solar modules alone, we can reach 72 km of autonomy per day , and recharging is done in parking mode.

A situation that could already suit many. If solar energy is then combined with a traditional full tank, the range of the Aptera can reach around 1,600 km at full load , in the “high-end” version of the vehicle.

In all-wheel drive mode, the Aptera can go from 0 to 100 km / h in just over 3.5 seconds : a capacity worthy of a supercar. Modern entertainment systems, semi-autonomous driving and a host of technological devices complete the picture.

According to the manufacturer, the price of this little gem varies between 22,000 and 40,000 euros , depending on the version and the options chosen. Granted, it might not be best for carrying a lot of people or luggage, but for two occupants (and a little more) it’s more than enough, and the driver will feel behind the wheel of a vehicle as futuristic as it is ecological .
