Cars don't have enough surface area for that to work.
My van has 300 watts of solar on the roof. I could double that if I was OK with panels extending past the edges of the roof.
Even assuming 100% rated production and no charging losses:
600 watt x 10 hours = 6 kWh. My much smaller Bolt EV goes 4 miles on a kWh. 6 x 4 = 24 miles of range per day.
