The car does not need to be connected to the mains to recharge its battery.
A brand new model of electric cars has just entered the automotive market. Developed by the American startup Aptera, the Paradigm has something to seduce. Unlike other models, this electric car is recharged by solar energy. It can therefore – almost – drive continuously, without having to take a break at a gas station to recharge its battery. In any case, this is the promise of the startup.
« Never Charge technology is built into every Aptera vehicle and is designed to store enough solar energy to travel 17,700 kilometers per year in most areas », assure American company. It will still be better to live in a sunny region to make the most of the vehicle’s particularity. And if the Paradigm does not need to be plugged in to recharge, it will still take breaks since the vehicle only charges when stationary.
In addition to the fact that it recharges with solar energy, the electric car has an impressive range of 1,600 kilometers thanks to its 100 kWh battery. It is also very fast since it can go from 0 to 96 km / h in just 5.5 seconds. A stopwatch that drops to 3.5 seconds with the Paradigm + model.
It also sports a very particular futuristic design. With only three wheels and two seats, the Paradigm looks like a small plane with its wings cut off. The vehicle should not go unnoticed on the streets.
It will still take $ 25,900 to get this special car. A large sum that can go up to $ 46,000 depending on the options. It is indeed possible to add solar panels to benefit from more efficient recharging. Although it has not yet passed security protocols, the Paradigm is already available for preorder. However, you will have to be patient to get one since the Aptera site is out of stock. The concept of the solar-powered vehicle seems to have seduced.
