Neat! Looks like something that would be ideal for local deliveries or transportation.<div>

Here’s another interesting idea, covering a tractor trailer with solar panels:

I can see it now. It can do duty, as an Aptera mobile support/service vehicle. A small micro ev van, but very utilitarian.

Looks somewhat similar to Sono’s tractor/trailer solar integration, but different enough so that I think they didn’t partner with Sono.

Both Sono and Scandia have vertical panels on the side – this makes sense in northerly locations since during winter, the sun is low on the horizon even at midday. Being at a similar latitude I’d really like solar on Aptera’s doors too, but obviously if this ever happens it’d be on a later model, not the current one.

Looks like a quarter scale DKW Schnellaster
