Aptera solar EV makes up to 4.75 kWh a day, independent test shows
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.Independent testing by TÜV Rheinland confirms that Aptera's solar electric vehicle generates between 4.23 and 4.75 kWh of usable energy per day, providing approximately 42 to 47 miles of range solely from sunlight. The three-day on-site test at Aptera's California headquarters validates the company's efficiency claims.
Aptera’s solar electric vehicle can pull more than 4 kWh of usable energy out of the sun in a single day, and now an independent testing house has put its name on the number.
TÜV Rheinland, the 150-year-old German testing and certification firm, ran three days of on-site solar measurements at Aptera’s Carlsbad, California headquarters and confirmed the car generated 4.23 to 4.75 kWh per day, enough for roughly 42 to 47 miles of driving on sunlight alone.
Solar-car range claims have a bad track record. They are generally powered by AC fans and not much more.
Aptera (Nasdaq: SEV) has been quoting daily solar figures for years that could actually result in useful range thanks to its super-efficient vehicle.
