Which ones would those be? I believe the EV1 has the lowest consumption of a production EV at 179Wh/mi. The Tesla gets 240Wh/mi, and even Gary Graunke's Insight EV, which uses an AC drive system with regen, gets 185Wh/mi at 50 mph. The one that claimed 120Wh/mi, Aptera, released a press release on April 14 that revised the estimated consumption up to 200Wh/mi.
190Wh/mi is still very good.
