You need an array of solar panels the size of a house to be able to charge a car significantly. The sun isn’t that strong and cars use a lot of energy.
The Aptera design doesn’t run on solar in a real-time sense, but their focus on extreme efficiency right down to aerodynamics means the car can charge as much as 50 miles per day on solar alone. For sunny climates that’s perfect for a commuter vehicle.
