I was thinking of attatching solar panels to an electric RV to charge the engine battery but in case I need more power at night I was thinking of using a gas powered generator.
 
Solution
An all-electric vehicle uses higher battery voltage than standard 12VDC. Charging those batteries might be difficult with solar power unless there is a place designed into the charging system to connect a DC voltage source.
