Aptera solar ev range

The Aptera solar EV will be the first electric vehicle to clams the 1000miles traveling range from a single charge. The Aptera solar EV comes with different battery packs which provide different traveling ranges.

Aptera solar EV is available in four different battery packs 25, 40, 60, and a 100kWh battery pack. The battery range will start from 250 miles from a single charge to 1000miles which can be achieved from the top model 100kWh battery.

Also with the help of 700watt solar cells which are on the top of the Aptera EV, which can provide an extra 40miles range on a hot summer day with good sunlight.

But on a normal day with less sunlight, it can produce some extra range which can help to travel extra 20 miles. For more information, you can visit their website Aptera.com and find out your city’s sunlight intensity and calculate the range from it.

Aptera claims that the long range is achieved from the new aerodynamic design of the Aptera solar EV.

Aptera solar EV power & torque

The Aptera solar EV’s exact power and torque are not revealed from the Aptera. But we think that the Aptera solar EV max power will be around 110hp to 200hp which can achieve 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds with all-wheel driving. 5.5 seconds with front-wheel driving.

The Aptera solar EV comes with a 110hp permanent magnet DC motor which is wheel mounted at the front, you can get an option for All-wheel driving with all wheels mounted with a DC motor.

Aptera solar EV Design & exterior

Aptera solar EV exterior design is different from any other car. The Aptera electric car has an Aerodynamic Design that is inspired by an aircraft. Aptera is curved at the nose, wide along the sides, and tapered toward the trunk.

The Aptera solar EV is one of the most lightweight electric vehicles on the market. The Aptera electric car body is built with Ultra-lightweight composites with an eggshell shape which is seven-time stronger than steel. So the safety of this car is also so good.

Also, the car’s weight is only 1,800-2,200lb which makes it very light, so less weight means less energy to move.

However, the Aptera solar EV is a solar-powered electric car so there is the problem of overheating. So Aptera developed a new skin cooling system that cools down the car whenever it overheated.

Conclusion

In my opinion, the Aptera solar EV will be the next future of electric cars which can change the concept of the electric car. However, the real reliability and performance will be known from actual road tests of the Aptera electric car.

The Aptera solar EV specifications and power output are also good enough with the long-running range making the Aptera solar EV a special electric car in the segment. The design of the Aptera EV is different from any other car on the market, in my opinion, it has to be a four-seater car more than a two-seater. Because we cannot travel in this car with our family or friends because it has space for only two persons.

Let’s see how it performs if people really like it when it is available for sale. Also, the Aptera electric car range will become around 100miles less after extra power consumption like AC, charging, etc. So, we can consider the Aptera solar EV range will be around 900miles per charge.
