Germany’s Sono Motors successfully launched an self-charging Electric Vehicle (EV), Sion, that charges itself using the power of the sun while driving around during the day.
Sion EV – A spacious electric car Powered by the Sun
This is no normal EV car. It’s got solar panels on the hood with about 456 half cells seamlessly integrated into the body of the car can add 112 km, on average (up to 245 km) per week, of driving range to the car’s battery, through the power of the sun. This creates full self-sufficiency on short distances.
Miraculously Spacious with a Sleek Interior
The Sion’s comfortable interior and generous trunk offer plenty of room for you and your needs. At the same time, you can focus on the essentials – the clearly structured, understated interior design of the Sion impresses with its intuitive useability. The infotainment system with integrated connectivity and mobility services can be controlled centrally via the 10-inch touch display.
The Sion is not just there to help you alone get to your destination. It’s also there for your loved ones and all the things you’d need. Our sustainable, everyday wonder offers a spacious interior for every situation: durable and comfortable. Including heated seats, height-adjustable seat belts and enough space for long legs on even longer journeys.
Eye-catching with a range of 305 KM
Even more than just eye-catching, two striking features actively pull your gaze. Namely, the Sion’s innovative design highlight, the integrated Icelandic moss, accentuated from above by a 10-inch display that provides you with all the information you need.
If the interior does not yet offer you enough space, our capacious luggage compartment provides space for all life’s situations. Whether it’s a big shopping trip, a stroller or whatever you need to move from A to B: there’s room for everything.
Pre-orders going off the roof with affordable pricing.
Sono confirmed that it already has about 20,000 direct consumer reservations for its upcoming Sion solar-supplemented EV. The Sion costs about 29,900 euros ($29,700) and the company plans to build 257,000 of them over a seven-year period.
