Great question, so let's take a look in context of G20 330i:

number 3, 4 and 8 are irrelevant for ICE.
number 1, 2, 6, 7 are basically 330i.
number 9 is doable if incentives are good.
number 5 0-60 in 5 seconds is not doable now but this open-source spec is somewhat forward projecting.

My lightly optioned($1k-ish) 330i was $37k + tax + fee after incentives, so a bare-bone base could hit $36k(close enough to $35k ).
  1. weighs 3500lb(CF likely needed)
  2. goes 500+ miles in one charge
  3. takes 30 minutes(or less) to charge
  4. has 15 years/150k miles battery warranty for 90% capacity
  5. goes 0-60 in 5 seconds
  6. is around the size of G20
  7. has 16-18 gallons of trunk space(plus fold down seats)
  8. has ample battery reinforcement and no thermal runaway
  9. sells for $35k or less
