If the parts are being produced by someone else to his specs, then it's quite possible for him to assemble them himself (as he says he is doing), but I don't rule out that he has help.
Sure. Having the parts delivered and then assembling them is more-or-less the same as having a staff of people fabricate the whole thing. At a bicycle store, one or two people can assemble 4 or 5 bicycles a day, because they come out of the box mostly ready. Making one from scratch takes weeks. (The ones they make from scratch are gorgeous and cost thousands of bucks.)
I expect the only problematic ingredient is the nickel catalyst inside the cell. The rest of the parts can be cut and fabricated by many people, fairly easily. It shouldn't cost much.
