Aptera solar EV makes up to 4.75 kWh a day, independent test shows

Aptera’s solar electric vehicle can pull more than 4 kWh of usable energy out of the sun in a single day, and now an independent testing house has put its name on the number. TÜV Rheinland, the 150-year-old German testing and certification firm, ran three days of on-site solar measurements at Aptera’s Carlsbad, California headquarters and confirmed the car generated 4.23 to 4.75 kWh per day, enough for roughly 42 to 47 miles of driving on sunlight alone.
