With the OEM arrangement the Gen1 Insight has ~63 cubic feet of interior space .. ~47 of which was for the 2 front people (driver/passenger) .. leaving about ~16 rear cargo .. and that was with all the OEM IMA eating all that space in the rear .. ~25 in an Aptera3 is only claiming ~9 more .. aka about the space used by the under hatch IMA components (3x3x1= 9 .. or 2.08 x 2.08 x 2.08 = 9 .. etc.) .. Front ICE space , transmission space all freed up by moving to wheel motors .. I think 25 is doable .. but the shape of that space will probably not be as 'convenient' to actually use all of it as the more box / cube like spaces on modern trunks.
