Munich-based mobility provider Sono Motors is continuing to work on the presentation of the Sion small car and is touring Germany as part of a series of events. The aim is to present the vehicle concept and to increase the number of pre-orders following the planned test drives. The car can only be pre-ordered at the moment; according to the manufacturer, around 7.000 pre-orderers (as of August 2018) have taken advantage of this. The vehicle is to be produced and delivered from 2019.
The concept of the small, compact van is an electric car with solar modules integrated into the body, which, according to the manufacturer, can generate a range of up to 30 kilometers. But that can only be generated with optimal solar radiation at the vehicle location. The range under optimal conditions should be up to 250 kilometers. The purchase price without the battery is currently 16.000 euros.

According to Laurin Hahn, CEO and founder of Sono Motors, the Netherlands will be interesting for the provider in the future. There is the following quote from a press release: “With this tour we want to meet the overwhelming demand for test drives. That is why we will offer further test drives in our core market of Germany on the way to the Netherlands. The Netherlands itself is an extremely interesting market for us, because the country is considered a pioneer in the field of electromobility. Accordingly, we see clear potential for an innovative electric car like the Sion and look forward to entering the market ”.
