New solar-powered car designed to recharge itself for most users, Aptera dot us

Soon, some electric vehicle drivers will be able to run errands and then power up their vehicles without plugging in. They’ll just need sunshine.

Steve Fambro is co-founder of Aptera Motors Corp. His team created a three-wheeled electric vehicle with built-in solar cells that provide enough energy to cover many people’s daily driving needs.

“It’ll operate like a normal electric vehicle,” he says. “But all the while, you’ve got this imaginary extension cord that’s charging you up — 20, 30, 40 miles a day in some places.”
