So that one panel gets you 6-7 miles of EV range a day.
A typical house needs probably 15-20 panels to produces it’s needs (assuming you have storage) before EVs are even in the picture.

Of course most cars are not at home all day, and cloudy days have to be accounted for. So we have to assume some sort of system to get around that. (the obvious ones are battery at home to charge, or sell to the grid at home and buy from the grid where you are charging) Solving these problems is not easy, but the math works out that you can do it.
Is not what your link says, it says:
> U.S. daily travel averages 11 billion miles a day — almost 40 miles per person per day
Which is a different metric.
Perhaps more pertinent is:
> (The Average Driver) Drives 29 miles a day
Your qualification of your numbers was
> very good sunny location
not
> some random unspecified location
