Charge Electrical Van with onboard solar panel and lithium battery

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to create something like an autonomous electrical van.

For example, we might be able to put 3-4 solar panels of 400W each on the roof. Then something like 200Ah 24 lithium battery, a 3KVA multiplus and a EV Charging Station (at lowest current charge - 6A).


Maybe we can expect to charge 3KWH every day. That's around 5% of the vehicle battery.

If we plan to more just few kilometers and stay on the same place few days.

Could it be technically possible to charge the van with all this installation?


For sure, lithium battery shouldn't be used to directly charge the vehicle, but just to manage sun variation.


Thanks

It is technically possible but not very efficient. I think you can walk more km/day than you can drive with the energy provided by this system.
