Well, YouTuber Drew Builds Stuff decided to take a swing at that concept himself.

Rather than rebuilding the whole vehicle, he opted for a trailer decked out with solar panels.

Under perfectly sunny skies, the EV pumped out a solid 1,350 watts consistently.

During a couple of hours of driving, the battery didn’t drain at all.

The drive ultimately had to be cut short when the battery finally ran flat before sunset.

Still, the results were impressive for a homebrew project.

The builder estimated ideal conditions could push past 300 miles.

Theoretically, with non-stop sunshine, an infinite range is indeed achievable.

For now, perpetual solar-powered driving remains more novelty than the norm.
