The Aptera solar electric car's journey began in Flagstaff, Arizona, at an altitude of about 2,100 meters above sea level. Just before rolling, the car had absorbed 300 W of solar energy.

Throughout the journey, this unique model attracted great attention from passersby. Aptera has a three-wheeled design with a streamlined shape, inspired by the shape of a teardrop to optimize aerodynamics. Thanks to that, the car only has a drag coefficient of 0.13 - significantly lower than the Tesla Model 3 (0.23) or Volkswagen ID.4 (0.28).

Aptera has previously tested beta prototypes, but this is the first time a commercial version has been tested on a long-distance road. The company calls its product an “electric vehicle that never needs to be charged,” offering a promising future for renewable energy transportation.
