In full sun, at a rate of 1mile range per hour, that would give you 9 miles of range - and given it's infused cells rather than 30% eff. panels, and will not be in full sun for more than a couple of hours, 2 to 3 miles range is a more reasonable estimate. This is due to the 'low' (in charging terms) w/m2 of the cells. And also why they are an expensive design feature used only to run aux 12v systems or recirc air when the vehicle is empty.
