I learned that from a review. It's nothing much compared to what electric motors for what a full size car require. Panels, especially effecient ones, are bat shit crazy expensive/watt.
The cars you are referring to were money no object, covered in panels, extremely light, raced in full sun. These are regular heavy cars, small surface area, money very definitely an object, will be sold and used all over, etc.
