THE SONO SION SOLAR ELECTRIC CAR CAME TO NORTH AMERICA - SO WE HAD TO CHECK IT OUT!

EV Channels Review

Transport Evolved provides an in-depth look at the Sono Sion, a solar-electric vehicle aiming for mass-market affordability with a target price around $25,000-$29,000 Euros. While a full driving experience was not possible due to regulatory restrictions, the reviewer was able to experience a short ride in a pre-production prototype. The Sion's standout feature is its solar-panel infused body, which the company claims can generate approximately 6,000 miles of free range annually. The vehicle also boasts a cobalt, nickel, and magnesium-free BYD battery pack, a 120 kW electric motor, and a strong emphasis on sustainability and right-to-repair principles, including DIY repairability. The interior features a unique moss element for air filtration and a clean design. The Sion also supports bi-directional charging (V2L, V2H, V2C), positioning it as a mobile energy storage solution. The reviewer highlights the Sion's potential to make EVs accessible to a broader audience.
