Episode Details

What if your car could refuel itself while you slept, while you worked, while you simply lived your life? That's not a distant promise - it's what Aptera Motors has already built.

In this episode, we step inside the Aptera, the world's first true solar electric vehicle, and speak with Chris McCammon, Head of Marketing, about the philosophy behind one of the most radical rethinks of personal transport in decades. The insight that sparked it all is deceptively simple: most vehicles can burn 60 to 70 percent of their energy just pushing air out of the way. Aptera decided to fix that first. 

The result is a three-wheeled, ultra-aerodynamic vehicle that generates over 10,000 miles of driving per year from sunlight alone, uses a third of the energy of any other EV on the market, and costs $40,000 for a 400-mile range.
