The Sion gets a more sober 13 miles of free daily driving. That's still enough to cover my commute, but I prefer the futuristic 2-seater 3-wheel design of the Aptera. The Sion looks like a cracker jack box! They need to get that closer to 20 miles, 13 is pretty tough. If you are having to plug it in frequently, the convenience factor goes out the window. You may as well get a Tesla.
