World's 1st solar-electric vehicle visits San Francisco

It runs on solar power, but can also be charged with electricity.
In a momentous display of futuristic innovation, the world's inaugural self-sustaining solar vehicle has taken center stage in the heart of San Francisco, drawing curious onlookers and tech enthusiasts alike.

Crafted by the avant-garde minds at Aptera Motors, this revolutionary hybrid machine harnesses the abundant energy of the sun, while still retaining the capability to recharge via conventional electrical outlets. According to the company's ambitious claims, this solar marvel is capable of journeying up to 40 miles daily purely on solar energy, and an astonishing 1,000 miles on a single electric charge.

Chris McCammon, the visionary leading content at Aptera Motors, expressed palpable enthusiasm about the vehicle's forthcoming public launch. “We’re gearing up for Aptera’s big debut in the second quarter of next year,” he revealed. “That’s the primary reason we’re showcasing it here in San Francisco—to spark interest and excitement ahead of its release. We’re already sitting on 48,000 pre-orders, and over 500 of those are just from the Bay Area alone.”

The innovation doesn’t stop at the car itself—Aptera Motors is actively pursuing financial backing to establish a large-scale production facility in Carlsbad.

Projected to retail at a price point around $35,000, this trailblazing solar-electric hybrid offers a much more accessible option compared to many current electric vehicles, making the dream of sustainable transportation more achievable for the everyday consumer.
