If true, my 5mi commute each way would be possible without ever charging the vehicle in the summer If you're interested in reducing environmental impact, a bicycle would also let you do that commute without charging and with much less environmental impact than an EV covered in solar cells... though it may be less pleasant in hail and/or snow. If you're just interested in saving money for electricity, then I'd be surprised if the extra cost in adding all of those solar cells is cheaper than paying for the electricity.
