The Munich tech startup Sono Motors presented its innovative electric car Sion in Vienna.

The Sion, which is powered by solar energy and electricity from the socket, is intended to appeal primarily to middle-class city commuters with a range of 250 km and a purchase price of 16,000 euros (without battery). The battery is available for monthly rental or for a one-time purchase and should cost less than 4,000 euros.
On its tour through Europe, the startup collects pre-orders and investor money; last weekend the Sion stopped off in Freudenau in Vienna. Over 500 interested parties registered and completed short test drives on a defined circuit. “The people mainly come from the Vienna area, most of them have a garage with a socket at home,” reports Valentin Isert from Sono-Motors.
When the sun is shining, the solar cells integrated into the body generate electricity for a range of 30 kilometers per day; when the sky is cloudy, the figure is six kilometers, with an annual average of 12 kilometers, explains Isert. There are already enough pre-orders and series production of the Sion will start in the second quarter of 2019.
