As I mentioned above, you could get my science experiment up and running for about a grand, and it would be more efficient than the Aptera because it's even more minimalist. I bet our car was around 70 wh/mile. The 2HP motor could get you up to at least 50 (only had enough traction to get up to 45 on the quarter mile school track).
Yes, it may not really be a consumer product.

No offense though, but you aren't very convincing with your alternatives.
