In 2005, the City of Angels was rumbling - both literally and figuratively - with congestion on the roads caused by gas-guzzling cars. For Steve Fambro, a top executive in Southern California, enough was enough as he became increasingly frustrated with wasting his time navigating through miles of traffic. After spending considerable time reflecting on potential alternatives to traditional transportation options, Fambro ultimately founded Aptera Motors and developed their innovative solar-supplemented electric car.

This cutting-edge reverse trike-style vehicle boasts an impressive 1,000-mile range off a single charge and is decked out with over three square meters of easily replaceable and upgradable solar panels. The panels are ideal for those living in sunnier climates as they can provide more than 40 miles per day; that's a total of 14,000 free solar-powered miles yearly! And that's not all – Aptera's EV claims it can go from 0-60 mph in just four seconds, making it one of the fastest vehicles on the market alongside performance cars like the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, Chevy Camaro ZL1, and KTM X-Bow GT. The car's impressive acceleration is due to its low rolling resistance and aerodynamic design made from composite aircraft materials. To top it off, this EV also comes equipped with a Tesla-style autopilot system for maximum convenience.

With projected pricing falling between $34-59K, this electric vehicle is perfect for anyone looking to get ahead of the competition while also doing their part to help save the planet.
