The first commercial solar electric vehicles are set to hit the European and U.S. markets in the coming years, manufactured by Sono, Aptera and Lightyear.
The world's first commercial solar electric vehicles are hitting the U.S. and European markets in the next few years. German company, Southern California-based Aptera Motors, and Dutch company Lightyear are all producing electric vehicles with integrated solar panels, which can harness the sun's power to provide around 15-45 additional miles on a clear day.
"Solar panels are so inexpensive and integrating them into the skins is so easy that once you get over that initial learning curve, those initial couple thousand vehicles out there, it's hard for me to envision that this won't be cost-effective," Kammen said.The cars coming to market In terms of looks, Aptera's vehicle is on the opposite end of the spectrum from Sono's. Aptera's zippy three-wheeler seats two, has motors in the wheels for greater efficiency, and is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. It's set to begin production in the U.S. next year.
