One thing I like to do when looking at new EVs coming out is check to see how they'd perform out on the open road. How fast can you cross the country? Could you take big international trips?

Aptera was big news almost a decade ago, but failed to make it to production. Now, it's back and has bigger plans than ever. Not only does the company plan on building the original vehicle, but it's also aiming for 1,000 miles of range on a charge. On top of that, Aptera is hoping to add enough solar power to cover the daily driving needs of most American drivers without plugging the car in at all
