If anyone needed more evidence that capitalism isn't working for us, it is this: corporations have given us a stream of expensive, performance-oriented electric cars, while Sono couldn't find a paltry tens of millions to begin producing the car we really need, the Sion. It seats 5 comfortably, has a large *rectangular* cargo space, offers 150 miles range, and captures a nontrivial amount of power from the sun. It uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have a longer lifespan than the typical lithium nickel manganese cobalt, and have zero interest in catching on fire. It was poised to sell for roughly €25K. But now it is officially a dead project.

Wishing a state entity could just write the check to start production and then sell them with a subsidy. Or something.

Standard caveat: mass transit beats EV's. But if you must have a car...

Nach dem Lightyear One fährt mit dem Sion von Sono Motors das zweite Solarauto ins Finanzloch, trotz 45ʼ000 Reservierungen und erfolgreicher Crashtests. Schade, es wäre ein tolles Konzept gewesen! Wie lange macht es wohl noch?

@rik Spijtig van de financiële problemen. Hopelijk halen ze het. Ik vind dit een zeer mooi concept. Spijtig ook dat hun event niet naar België komt. Amsterdam lukt me nu helaas niet.

(en als je hen spreekt: ze zijn zeker welkom op Mastodon!)

Lamentablemente, el coche (apoyado por energía) solar puede no llegar a ver la luz —broma no intencionada—.
