San Diego, CA, January 20, 2023 — Aptera is electrified to announce its Launch Edition, the first series of over 40,000 orders for a fleet of ultra-efficient vehicles that will bring solar mobility and freedom from the grid a reality.

In optimal sunny locations, our solar can generate over 10,000 miles of driving per year, with over 1,000 miles per month in summer. Based on 10,000 miles of solar driving per year, compared to a 30 MPG gas vehicle at $4.50 per gallon, you can save $1,500 per year, and $7,500 over 5 years.

Each vehicle can generate enough solar power for up to 40 miles of free daily driving. Plus, with Aptera's Launch Edition vehicle, you can travel up to 400 miles on a single charge. The average American drives less than 30 miles per day, so most Aptera owners will never have to plug their vehicle in to charge.
