"The entire car body is coated with photovoltaic paint which generates electrical energy. This energy can be used immediately for driving or is stored in the battery when the vehicle is stationary
"...94 percent of the energy from sunlight, through the paint, can help power your car...added energy could extend the range of an EV by 12,000KM or 7,456 miles...drivers in Stuttgart, Germany, cover an average of 52 kilometres a day. Around 62 per cent of this distance would be covered using solar energy."
