> I'm thinking of doing something similar, but I can't figure out how I'll do it without running around 400Ah of 48V Lithium battery. The panels can charge that using a regular old MPPT charge controller (or two). Then I'll run a big inverter (5000W) from that to get to AC power, and plug a regular EV charger into that.
That’s how I would approach it, solar panels feeding an inverter, which feeds the regular old EV charger. Toss in some batteries to store excess power. Might as well use off the shelf parts instead of engineering custom direct DC charging.

Might as well use off the shelf parts instead of engineering custom direct DC charging. Thanks. The challenge is that is all heavy and takes up a ton of space inside the vehicle.
