On the flip side it is worth pointing out that 83 w/km (133.6 w/mi) is a little over half the power that most of the best selling EVs like the Model 3 or Bolt use. That rate would probably make it the most efficient non-ultra compact EV on the market. So the panels aren't the only place they expect to make large gains on efficiency.
- AWildC182 7y agoThat too should probably be viewed with skepticism. Unless the car has a way lower weight and frontal cross section it's unlikely to be vastly different than existing vehicles. The motor and supporting equipment isn't going to me any more efficient.
- slg 7y agoAlso after doing a little math the battery is larger than the entry level Model 3 and the same size as the Bolt. Plus this car is longer and wider than both the Model 3 and Bolt (although it is shorter than both so I guess it could be somewhat more aerodynamic). I just don't see where they cut any substantial amount of weight. I am rather dubious on all their claims.
