    The Van is listed as 3.4 m long and 1.5 m wide

    https://newatlas.com/automotive/hwe-puzzle-electric-kei-van/

    Assuming you can get only half that for the solar panels that about 2.5m square and solar panels get about 200-300 watts per square m. So we looking at at least 500 watts for a pessimistic estimate and the magic number for watt to daily production is around 4 kwh per watt. So we looking at around 2kwh per day. A tesla s3 gets about 100km from 15kWh a lot of an evs weight is in the batteries so although its a mini van it might not be to far off.

    So we looking at 13.3 km per day or 8.3 miles per day (for you yanks).

    Thats not an amazing distance but its not nothing. This should be a bit of underestimate as well, but some information is unclear so maybe I’m overestimating but it should be in that ball park.
