Were you under the impression that this car can only be charged with solar ?
If you understand what they are saying, the solar ADDS to the charge you already have.
with 10, 20, or whatever solar miles a day, a lot of people will never have to plug in.

BTW , I wanted to ask everyone here why the Aptera doesn't follow the "Template", but I don't want to start a new thread.
If the Aptera followed the Template, there would be a lot more room in back, but not a huge amount added to the length.
Without much added to the length, it also wouldn't add much additional weight.

I traced the Template over the Aptera.
The black line in the AST, and the grey is the car underneath.
