A Car That Might Never Need Charging
Aptera is a California-based solar mobility company focused on creating ultra-efficient electric vehicles powered primarily by the sun. Its innovative three-wheeled design and integrated solar panels allow for up to 40 miles of solar range per day, covering most daily driving without charging. With a strong focus on aerodynamics, lightweight materials, and sustainability, Aptera aims to redefine how the world moves—cleaner, smarter, and with less energy.
Sun-Powered Ambitions Get a Boost
Aptera, the solar EV startup reimagining clean mobility, has just raised $9 million through a public stock and warrant offering. Each share and accompanying warrant was priced at $2.00, and the deal could generate up to $18 million in total if all warrants are exercised.
That’s real money to push their futuristic, solar-powered vehicle closer to reality.
Funding the Final Push
The funds will be used to accelerate vehicle validation, prep for production, and line up suppliers. That includes testing, tooling, and design-for-manufacturability efforts—all necessary steps toward Aptera’s long-promised solar electric vehicle rollout.
Production timing is still TBD, but the gears are turning. Aptera is signaling it’s ready to move from dream to driveway.
Offering Details
The offering was handled by A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, acting as sole placement agent. Aptera’s registration was approved by the SEC on January 22, 2026, with the offering expected to close by January 26, pending final conditions.
A Car That Might Never Need Charging
Aptera’s goal is bold: create a lightweight, ultra-aerodynamic EV that can run entirely on solar power for most daily use. With an efficiency-first design and integrated solar panels, the company claims some owners may rarely, if ever, plug in.
Its community of early supporters and investors continues to grow, many drawn by the idea of a truly energy-independent EV.
More Than a Car—It’s a Movement
Aptera isn’t just building a car—it’s building a philosophy. The company sees mobility powered by sunshine as the way forward, challenging an industry built on overconsumption and waste.
This funding round might be the spark that lights the road ahead.
