Sion Solar Electric Car Review

Electric cars are growing in popularity all the time, and this often means a range of cars coming on the market from brands you have never heard of before. While Sono Motors are a growing name, they are hardly one of the largest names in the automaker industry. However, with the release of their intriguing Sion solar electric car, you might be hearing a lot more of this brand to come in the many years that line down the road. Why? They have developed the Sion: a truly spectacular electric car.

Powered with the sun, this car uses over 200 solar cells (over 248, in truth) that manage to provide it with outstanding solar performance. The integrated nature of these panels means that the car is always drawing in energy as you drive, meaning that you can charge the car up during the day simply by harnessing the power of the sun itself. It has become a common choice for those who are looking for a high-quality solar car that basically pays for itself across short distances.

Indeed, experts believe that the vehicle is capable of producing around 35km of extra range per day simply by the addition of this solar-generating solution. However, even if you do need to charge up the vehicle, a 30-minute charge should take it to around 80-percent of the battery. The Sion is also likely to be compatible with just about every major charging station that you can find across Europe. You could even power it at home off a normal power socket – or from another Sion!

So, if two people at home own a Sion, you could use the on-board charging system to make sure that you can share the energy and make sure that both cars can get home A-OK.

Powerful, affordable performance

A major part of this solar electric car is the fact that it can give you an impressive 255km of distance on its 35kWh of energy. That is great for just about any typical individual use, whether it is taking you into work or it is a car that you use for getting to and from your chosen daily activities. Being able to charge a device to carry as much driving distance as this is very impressive, making this a must-own for anyone who is really looking to ramp things up in terms of driving performance.

Add in the fact that you can throw on a tow bar or trunk for holiday trips, and you can use the Sion for just about anything under the sun (pun intended). Paired with a suave and spacious interior, and there really is no reason why you might not enjoy the use of a Sion.

While it might not provide you with the high-speed pursuer that other cars can, the fact that this low-maintenance, easy to control electric vehicle is ready for purchase makes sure you can buy an electric car that feels like a wise investment both today and long into the future.
