When we had the Leaf it did occur to me that solar power could work for an EV for portable charging, at least in a sunny state like Colorado during the summer months.
On a lot of trips we'd spend our day hours at level 2 chargers whenever possible. As my car sat there in the sun charging it always seemed like it would be more advantageous at times to have a large, foldable solar array that sits so the car. Given the weight to power rate of PV cells, they do make sense to a degree.
But a plug-in hybrid would make more sense for those times electricity in any shape or form isn't enough.
