the A14 is a 6-core CPU, the A12Z is an 8-core CPU. So we'll have to wait for benchmarks to know for sure.

No, my claim is that their solar claim is not ridiculous ;)

Also, if I do the math on their AC charging. 35km/h gained --> 2905Wh energy. Standard 230AC, 16 amps is 3680W. So I guess the number there is also correct? Take about 85% efficiency, then you have 3000Wh in one hour from 230V AC

No, you must not. The energy required for the car to drive 12kms is 996 Wh. let's round to 1kWh.

Solar is DC. for instance Tesla powerwall is 97% efficiency for DC/DC conversion for charging its battery. So you need basically 1kW of solar to produce the needed energy to drive 12km (per hour). I think you are off by at least a factor of 3.

edit: at 20% solar efficiency that would require 5m^2.

I see, but that does not answer my question though. How is my math wrong? the expected range from solar in 1 hour equates to 996 Wh. You suggest they need 5.6kW of solar to achieve this?

I think I miss something in your numbers. They say 83 Wh/km. which means that they expect to get 996Wh in an hour. How did you reach 5.59KW?
