If you want to see actual solar cars, you're looking at something like this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-engineering-solar-vehicle-unveiling-1.5187413 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-engineering-s... Car is extremely light (you can pick it up), spindly, aerodynamic, has none of the roadworthy safety features, uses all energy for driving (no AC, headlights, etc.). These compete in the World Solar Challenge and manage a good speed (50 mph) over long distances powered by the sun. This is a good example of what is possible. There is no way that a "traditional" car, carrying five, spare tire, safety features, headlights, bluetooth, cup holders, with apparently less solar surface area, is going to manage any sort of respectable distance or velocity powered by the sun alone.
