Hi,

The Aptera will get better and less expensive as production ramps up and batteries get better. The EEStor batteries will possibly double the range to ~240 miles and they could lower the price from $27,000 down to $24,000-25,000. If they can speed up production and find cost savings in other places, then we could buy it for even less. It cost just $1-2 to drive it 120 miles.

Even the more expensive Typ-1h (hybrid) at $30,000 would pay for itself in around 100,000 miles. If you have a solar PV panel, then driving the Aptera would be even less.
