Sono motors upgrades battery

Firstly, I'm surprised Sono Motors is still going - I was convinced this was all hot air and no trousers.
Secondly, I'm still surprised the "solar panels on the car" thing is actually useful at all, but it would appear it's still a key feature of the car, which now looks a lot less like a BMW i3 than it used to.
Thirdly - it's interesting they've moved to LFP chemistry - much like the Made In China Model 3 - it's clearly now energy dense enough at a lower per/kWh cost?

I've not seen that mentioned anywhere, is that true?

Solar panels on the roof of a car are totally useless. Consumers like them despite that...
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger
