A typical solar panel you put on a house is maybe 400w per panel measuring 5' by 3', in full sunlight. Most EV's have battery packs in the range of 60KW to 100KW.
Do the math, and a single panel would take 150 hours to charge that battery. It would not even come close to powering it while driving, where the energy requirements are probably 15KW/hour.

So, in a world where you don't have any foreseeable access to any usable fuels, charging an electric car over basically any period of time using a solar system is superior. That's all I'm saying.
That's pretty much the only situation I can think of that electric charging your vehicle will beat using fuel.
I'm not advocating for it, I'm just saying it's an option.
That said, if the grid does become inoperable for an extended period of time, charging your car is probably a low priority.

Just my 2 cents, but I've gotten a bunch of questions and compliments on my Stinger. How many people walk up to EV owners in parking lots and say "Nice looking car, what is it?"

You're absolutely right. I think there is only one EV I've seen that I really like the look of. Maybe 2.
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
