I am off the grid and have less than 1000 watts from my panels and of late need to run my genny because there is no Sun day in day out.
As I say to people it is not until you are into astronomy or have solar that you notice just how much cloud is around.
Even on days with total Sun I use most of the power for houshold things so there would be little power available to charge a car.
The genny runs the charger which produces 50 amp at 12 volts ( max) ... thats what I mean when I say charging would cost a fortune.
So even with many panels in this weather charging a car really would be so expensive it would be impractical.
When off grid you need a battery bank to store your power. I dont need to cost a system to know it will be probably half the price of the car or more and you still have the problem of bad weather.
