I'm sure he did, but I didn't say it didn't charge it all the way up, but rather that it didn't add a measurable charge. That means if the battery is at 36% and the car with the panel is sitting in the sun all day, you'd normally expect the battery to be at more than 36% at the end of the day.
But don't take me as an anti-solar person. I realize it's gotten more efficient lately. I even bought a 21 watt solar charger and tested it with my phone on a completely overcast day. My 2100 Mah battery went up 20% in 2 hours. In the sun, it went up 60% in an hour and 40 minutes. I like the idea of being able to get power from the sun if the grid goes down for my phone and for flashlight batteries. But the idea of getting enough solar panel to drive every car on the street, and to power every home and business is something solar cannot fulfill.
