Supposedly the Aptera will hve a 10-13kWh battery pack, so you'r looking at 10kWh/charge for the smaller pack times ($0.33/kWh)=$3.30/charge.

The car uses about .1kWh/mile, maybe more or less depending on how slowly/quickly you drive, so you're looking at 10Wh/charge over .1kWh/mile=100 miles/charge. $3.30/charge over 100 miles/charge results in electricity costs of about 3.3c/mile.
