Pretty sure it didn't take long - it has a top speed of 145km/h or 90mph.
Although some of the roads they took were pretty rough and might not be much faster than walking speed at times even in a gas powered car.
It took a month. The guardian article on this made the rounds a month or two ago. You just can't get enough via solar to run continuously. It has a big battery for sure. Charging rate is just super low.
Edit: please excuse me. 1.5 weeks, not a month.
