EPA does eMPG assuming 33kwh per gallon equivalent (on their drive test cycle).
If Aptera does 10 miles per kwh they've claimed = 330 MPGe
If Aptera does 9 miles per kwh = 297 MPGe.
etc.
But it isn't something like coasting down a hill .. It is EPA required to be the miles/kwh (or wh/mile) from driving the specific EPA drive cycle.
