Experiment rather than product, but still an interesting read. Plus it looks cool.

An entire article completely omitting the first question that comes to mind: How long does it need to recharge the battery?
2000 km at 300 km/day implies they drove on 7 days. And it took them around a month to complete the trip, so that would mean it needed 4 days of charging for 300km on average.
- Also, this was published October of 21. Have there been any updates or improvements?
  
  Because it was a student project I expect it was a one-and-done.
