Aptera builds ultra-efficient solar electric vehicles designed to meet daily driving needs off-grid. With lightweight, aerodynamic bodies, Aptera uses ~1/3 the energy of typical EVs, charges up to 4× faster, and delivers up to 4× the mileage per charge. Integrated solar adds up to ~40 miles/day, and top battery range reaches 1,000 miles. By slashing energy use and charger dependence, Aptera makes clean mobility more accessible—especially where EV infrastructure is sparse.
