Sono Motors is bringing its Sion solar-supplemented EV to the United States, but it’s unclear if the small hatchback will be sold here to retail customers.
The Sion was on display in New York City’s Time Square, followed by a stop in Brooklyn on what will be a multi-city tour, Sono said in a press release. The car will also be shown in Boston, Detroit, San Francisco, San Jose, and Los Angeles.
The company has suggested that the Sion was developed only with European regulations in mind, and isn’t discussing firm plans to sell it to retail customers in the U.S. Instead, Sono’s release implied the Sion’s U.S. tour is aimed at drumming up fleet business.
