As a glance: The Chinese overlords have prioritized forklifts.

Aptera proposes to ship product in the second half of this year. www.cbs8.com/powered-by-sun-super-efficient-vehicle-soon-to-be-on-road

But what makes the Aptera really stand out are the solar panels, which they say could charge it enough to go 40 miles, after say, leaving it in a sunny parking lot at work.

"We've gotten it down to 355 miles per gallon equivalent, which in Evie terms is about 100 Watt hours per mile." said Anthony. "It's four times as efficient as any other Evie on the road and 10 times as efficient as your typical gasoline vehicle."

Priced at a little under $26,000, Anthony says there’s plenty of interest in the Aptera.

He says there’s already over 17,000 pre-orders. The company is hoping to hand over the keys to their first driver by the end of the year. With many sick of high gas prices and earth conscious drivers switching to EVs, the future very much seems to be electric.
Electrification is a half-step. The Xbus is also solar-electric, and taking reservations.
