The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) students drove the SUV, which doubles as a small campervan, from Tangier in northern Morocco across dry riverbeds, steep mountain passes, and loose sand before arriving at the Sahara desert three days later.

“It was an incredible trip with a positive ending. We were able to drive the entire trip on the sun’s energy and did not depend on charging stations"

It's a 400km drive from the north end to the south end of the country.

They could have easily done this test within the Netherlands. I bet they did far more testing than that on local highways before taking it to the desert.
