    This article is missing some stuff I’d really like to know. How long did this 1,000 km trip take? How often did they have to stop? What was the average range per day? All of the specs that would be great to know are missing here.

      Pretty sure it didn’t take long - it has a top speed of 145km/h or 90mph.

      Although some of the roads they took were pretty rough and might not be much faster than walking speed at times even in a gas powered car.

        It took a month. The guardian article on this made the rounds a month or two ago. You just can’t get enough via solar to run continuously. It has a big battery for sure. Charging rate is just super low.

        Edit: please excuse me. 1.5 weeks, not a month.
