The Aptera has been in development since the 90s and still hasn't shipped. The Ioniq 5’s solar option is a total gimmick - the panels capture a negligible amount of energy. Literally months of perfect sunlight to charge the battery. Nobody is producing solar vehicles at any scale.

I see many Hyundai Ioniq 5s on the roads in London UK. Exactly 0 of them have a solar roof - it's not even offered as an option here. It's a gimmick and there's no demand for it.
