First I've heard of them, hopefully they can get back to it soon. I'm still keeping my eyes on the Aptera
I'd love an EV charged only with solar power...but living in a place with 7h of daylight in the winter, and 200 rainy days per year, that'll never happen. During summer it is already possible (and then some) with a regular EV and rooftop solar panels to drive entirely on solar power, I don't charge my car from the grid from May to September.
You could place the solar panel in orbit and beam the energy to your car as microwaves.
