This is exactly what an EV should be - ultra efficient unlike the inefficient bloated SUV based monstrosities we have now. The problem is cost - how many people are going to pay $40k for a 2 seater no matter how efficient? To get cost down a smaller battery pack is essential. This is essentially a commuter car. How many commuters go 1000mi a day? A low cost base model with 100mi would make a lot of sense.

I need a vehicle that efficiently carries 4 people comfortably. It should also be able to tow at least 1500 lbs for when I need to take a trailer to the home improvement center... Maybe have a trailer as an optional equipment. I hope you can make it, I am guessing at least $15000 to manufacture the current design of the Aptera vehicle.
I think that is the plan, more or less. They will offer several different battery pack capacities, and that should appeal to people who have different needs.
Neil is correct from what I have been reading and seeing in shared videos.
A 40kWH, 60kWH and 100kWH model could be a reality. There was even talk, at one point, about a FWD model, to offer options and lower cost and lifestyles. In my case the upper end 60kWH or more model with longer range would fit my lifestyle. But it will be interesting to realize the bonus charging of Never Charge, in my SW location, where only a smaller say... 40 kWH model should be more than enough for daily needs.
It should start coming together in 2020 as engineering and verifications are completed, with a prototype.
I also find meaningful answers on the Wefunder site under Ask a Question....
But the forum is surely a depository to place your needs and thoughts. And their are lots of EV owners on the forum sharing their knowledge and experiences. Well... at least a learning-curve for me.
