The prototype of their vehicle had about 700 watts of solar and provided about 40 miles/day of range. If the panels get roughly 6 hours of full insolation per day they're using about 100wh/mile. It's impressive, but only about 2.5 times more efficient than a Nissan Leaf, and still within the realm of possibility.
That same amount of solar on a Tesla would only give about 8 miles of range per day.
Rich Rebuilds has an interview/test with them. One of the people from the company mentioned that you have more aerodynamic drag on a bicycle than you do driving their vehicle.
