The continuous increase in the cost of gas leads customers to look for increasingly better options in terms of sustainability and resource optimization. Maybe it's a coincidence, but even if it's not on purpose, the brand that's growing the most is Tesla, and the category that's growing the most is campers.
While waiting for the two components to merge with the arrival of the Cybertruck with the addition of a camping module, another "special subject" is making its way onto the market: the Aptera solar-charged 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 those working in the automotive sector when it put its head out of the bag way back in 2011. Ten years later, the surprise has become a real product: from "it's impossible" to a 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.
The design intrigues, the power supply is the workhorse, but the latest "countryside" 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" tent that can be fixed to the tailgate of the vehicle, I too had doubts about the final result. Yet, seeing Aptera set up in this way makes me think that the option for two people is not at all far-fetched (it's true that I also love tiny houses, let's say that when it comes to space I'm happy with little).
Aptera doesn't like calling its vehicle a car, it insists on thinking of it as a “trike” powered by the sun. It's a lightweight, aerodynamic vehicle that harnesses the power of the sun to make off-the-grid living a reality, and with a 'shoulder' tent this is even more evident.
What do you think, you?
