Use carbon ceramic rotors. They are lighter than aluminum. Aluminum rotor will clog up the pad and grind up the rotor.
Aluminum brake drums have steel inserts.

nesting-section tail

The next door neighbor had an extensible, nested pickup bedcover, similar to your tail.
Some would find the aesthetic off-putting, but the air would 'like' it.:)

Your average motorcycle also gets about the same fuel consumption as your average sedan of around 35 to 40 mpg. We might as well as start comparing the car to a pickup truck or SUV while we're at it.

I will say that solar on an uber efficient niche vehicle like Aptera makes more sense than other EVs which are substantially less efficient.

900 watts of solar on the EV Hummer would be a joke.
