You could certainly use a car with solar panels on the road, just don't expect all your go power to come from them.

Zap offers it's truck with a solar panel option, which claims to give roughly 2 miles of electricity per day, or per hour of direct sunlight, I forget which. I can't think it's the latter, as that would require a very expensive solar panel indeed.
