          that is not their claim.

          To begin with, its more like a 3 wheel bike, than a car.

          They just say you dont need to plug it in IF you only ride the miles they say is the limit AND you live in a place like sunny California.

          So if that car sits outside every day and you only drive short distances, its not impossible to have "free forever" battery power

                  the new electric bicycles are amazingly efficient and something like this with solar + pedal power combined would make an amazingly efficient ultra light bike/car combo...

                  I believe that solar+battery+pedal will be very popular in the future...

                      I guess okay if you can keep it outside every day, but for those who have indoor parking spaces it's going to be a nightmare. But on the other hand, they will never purchase it in the first place.

                          In California at all you can fry eggs on a sidewalk, in Vancouver not so sure. So, contraption this has so many "ifs" that it is worthless....yet the OP said " never needs charging" maybe " never needs plugging in" would have been more accurate.

                              it's solar, not perpetual

                                  yeah not a fool proof as advertised, but in fairness they are seeking investors and it is pretty cool ....

                                      I think the point that some are missing is that it could be a leap forward in efficiency. I think the car (car?) itself is ugly and I'm sure that it accelerates like a turtle, but like concept cars, it can be a good example what can be done.
