The continuous increase in the cost of gas leads customers to seek ever better options in terms of sustainability and resource optimization. Perhaps it is a coincidence, but even to do so on purpose, the brand that grows the most is Tesla, and the category that grows the most is that of motorhomes.
While waiting for the two components to merge with the arrival of the Cybertruck with the addition of a camping module, another “special subject” makes its way onto the market: the solar-powered Aptera car. Do you remember her? We have been following it since before its launch, and we have already talked about it here.
Freedom, solar charging and camping
The only concept behind Aptera produced a real earthquake among the automotive industry when it put its head out of the bag back in 2011. Ten years later, the surprise has become a real product: from "it's impossible" to three-wheeled electric vehicle ... powered from solar energy.
Made of carbon fiber, glass and kevlar, the base model of Aptera is 4,5 meters long, 2,2 meters wide and 1,4 meters high. Aptera can also be recharged like a normal electric vehicle and offers 400 kilometers of battery range, recharging itself by an additional 25 kilometers per day with its panels.
Design intrigues, food is the workhorse, but the latest “rural” version can offer a whole new perspective to those who love freedom and open spaces.
Aptera camper: more than a summer curiosity
I confess: before seeing this "very banal" curtain that can be fixed to the tailgate of the vehicle, I too doubted the final result. Yet seeing Aptera set up in this way makes me think that the option for two people is not far-fetched at all (it is true that I also love tiny houses, let's say that in terms of space I am satisfied with little).
Aptera doesn't like to call their vehicle a car, insists on seeing it as a sun-powered “trike”. It is a light and aerodynamic vehicle that harnesses the power of the sun to make life out of the net a reality, and with a “shoulder” awning this is even more evident.
What do you think, you?
