Obviously generator and vacuum cleaner motor have a somewhat different construction. However, motors and generators are so similar by design that it is hard to believe significant cost difference between them. And naturally there are other costs than just motor. But so has a simple vacuum cleaner.

Anyway, Jerome's graph includes transfer price? That's half of the overall price, so the actual (end) production cost is in fact about 40e/MWh.

Cheap motors are cheap.  But they don't make good generators.
