    It’s also a bit strange to see a production-intent build of a solar electric vehicle without any solar panels. Still, Aptera shared that technology will be implemented next alongside the SEV’s production-intent thermal management system and exterior surfaces.

    This thing is pure vaporware. My new Leaf isn’t.

      Im not saying it isn’t, but fitting custom curved prob special solar panels on a test vehicle does not sound cost efficient, especially when you can test the solar panels separately perfectly fine.

      Cars are complex to construct properly even without drivetrains, plenty to test there.

      I suppose that the solar panels are in a field somewhere. It’s much more efficient.
