1. It's at speed of 42 miles/hr. You can't compare those numbers to EPA or even WLTP numbers.

Hypermiling records using Tesla cars:

  - 1078 km, Tesla S, 25 mph, 
  - 975 km, Model 3, 20-30mph
  - 909 km, Model 3, 50mph
The last one is comparable and available today.

2. It has solar panels. That tells me those are not serious people (or a PR stunt).

Solar charging math on area that small is so brutal that adding cost / weight of solar panels on a car is sheer stupidity. Adding few miles of range per day (on sunny day parked outside) doesn't make sense.

You're more likely to have a regular outlet in your garage and recharge 100 miles overnight.
