I mean that's just not true unless you're referring to the very narrow scope of powering itself while driving down the highway at 70MPH.

With a sufficiently efficient design and enough solar panels and sun exposure, like can be seen on the Aptera, you can get 30-40 miles of range/day, which is more than sufficient for a daily commute.
