The company has been working hard for some time on a 4.47-meter compact electric MPV with solar panels. The Zion should cost about 29,900 euros.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s going on at Sono Motors?<\/h2>\n<p>Sono did <a href=\"https:\/\/sonomotors.com\/en\/what-is-going-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not raise enough money<\/a>. The company allegedly did not sufficiently explain to investors why the Zion is really needed and that it is in huge demand. To make matters worse, the global crisis is causing most investors to avoid risk-taking and look to more mature companies. Investors tell Sono Motors not to build the car, restructure the company and lay off 70% of its people. Sono feels this is not an option, so he is sounding the alarm bells in hopes that the community can help.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto4-1140x713.jpg\" alt=\"Sono Motors\" class=\"wp-image-142217\"><\/figure>\n<h2>What will happen next?<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;If we can meet the campaign goal and raise enough money, we can create a positive domino effect. The investment from individuals should enable Sono to continue to find new investors and pay for the remaining machinery, tools and production facilities to achieve the planned pre-series production in 2023. The ultimate goal is to achieve large-scale production in 2024.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;I want to help&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to support Zion, should you be interested. For example, you can increase your down payment. You can place a new reservation. Finally, Sono mentions that word of mouth can also help Sono Motors survive.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto1-1140x713.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-142221\"><\/figure>\n<h2>&#8216;WE FAILED&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>The way Sono Motors shares its problems with the world is quite extraordinary. On social media, the company wrote &#8220;WE FAILED&#8221; in large chocolate letters. This causes a stir. Some think it is unwise because it means losing confidence in Sono. On the contrary, others find it brave that Sono is being candid about the situation. In any case, the future of the Zion is in jeopardy and the question is whether the car will actually make it to the production stage. Sono&#8217;s founders also explain the current situation in the video below, but there is no laughter.<\/p>\n<h2>VIDEO<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>Solar Panels<\/h2>\n<p>The Zion is a solar electric vehicle. The car can charge itself with solar energy. It is equipped with a 54 kWh battery, good for a total range of 305 kilometers. Additional range is also provided by solar panels, seamlessly integrated into the body of the car. Of particular note is the amount of green moss in the interior.<\/p>\n<div class=\"galery shuffle galery-0\">\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"cursor: pointer\" data-src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto1-1600x1000.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"galery-0\" title=\"Martin Meiners\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto1-640x480.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"cursor: pointer\" data-src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto2-1600x1000.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"galery-0\" title=\"Martin Meiners\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto2-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small\" alt=\"Sono Motors Sion\" loading=\"lazy\"><i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"cursor: pointer\" data-src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto3-1600x1000.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"galery-0\" title=\"Martin Meiners\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto3-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"cursor: pointer\" data-src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto4-1600x1000.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"galery-0\" title=\"Martin Meiners\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto4-640x480.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Sono Motors\" loading=\"lazy\"><i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"cursor: pointer\" data-src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto5-1600x1000.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"galery-0\" title=\"Martin Meiners\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto5-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"cursor: pointer\" data-src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto6-1600x1000.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"galery-0\" title=\"Martin Meiners\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sono-motors-sion-productieversie-2024-foto6-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-small size-small\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sono Motors is from Germany Sono Motors is based in Munich.
