With the new Mission Efficiency, Volkswagen is presenting the world's most efficient near-production electric car. The prototype has set three world records. They stand for exemplary aerodynamics and excellent ideal and real fuel consumption. The vehicle is a beacon of technology and at the same time demonstrates the performance of Volkswagen's production technology.

which is why the vehicle looks so strange

Also because it's not a car and has no safety concerns, not even bumpers. Doors are paper thin because this is legally an electric Polaris Slingshot.

They are getting 1 mile per 100 Wh with this design.

I call bullshit. Real world, you will never see this outside June 21st near the equator if you can magically park without any shade.

The math of the solar area doesn't add up.
