Yes, you're right. Those aren't the deal breaker.
The deal breaker is that
Just re-watched the video...4.3m x 5.3 m canopy area, so 22 sq meters of
lenses focusing on the top of the car. Assuming 1kW per square meter,
50% for focusing loss, and 80% loss for solar panel conversion
efficiency...(22 * .5 * .2 = 2.2) that gives 2.2 kWh of power (for say

I believe this has been discussed on the list before.
Issues I remember:

Divide 300Wh into 12kWh - only 40 hours in full sun to charge all the way!
They should be at least a little embarrassed proposing such a thing let
