Yeah it will be self powered if you live some where that has sun 365 days a year and drive less than 10 miles a day.
I highly doubt the solar panels will add 12,500 miles per year.
That's 34 miles per day. That would take about 7.5kw per day in a normal electric car. That's the equivalent of about 1,500w worth of panels.
That's the surface area of 5 of my 39 x 76 inch 295w solar panels. That's like 103 square feet facing the sun at all times.
So nothing adds up here.
Unless they figure you are going to drive 25 mph in the city and still get an unprecedented 10 miles per kwh (that means never using the heat or A/C).
Yeah nothing adds up unless they have some huge super secret technological advantage.
