Building a street legal car will likely cost $10,000 or more. You could build an e-bike for $1000. Elio is still technically a motorcycle and would realistically sell for $16,000. For a prototype race vehicle $500,000 is fairly cheap. To build a production solar vehicle with a carbon fiber chassis and sun tracking the price might drop to $250,000. How much sunshine do you get in Wisconsin? Figure on some kind of heater/defroster system too.
