First fuel-free car in history lands in America — Just daylight needed to hit the roads


Aptera Motors is making history by bringing the first fuel-free car to America. Aptera’s innovative move not only signifies a shift in vehicle technology but also focuses on what driving green means. It was at the 2025 CES in Las Vegas that Aptera (a California-based startup) unveiled its new solar-powered electric vehicle, a three-wheeled and sleek machine that requires only one thing to enable it to run on roads daily.

While the alternate power source is what sets Aptera’s vehicle apart, its radical aerodynamic shape also needs to be considered as one of its most unique features. Aptera’s motor, developed in partnership with iconic Italian design house Pininfarina, has led to the car being hailed as one of Europe’s premier wind tunnels in Turin. As such, the Aptera claims to offer one of the lowest drag coefficients of any passenger vehicle in the world. No confirmation has been provided of the exact number, however, previous versions had drag coefficients as low as 0.13 in comparison to 0.23 for Tesla’s Model 3.
