Just seems more practical/cost-effective at this point to recharge from a rooftop solar system. Plus, there’s the concern of damage from a car accident.

I don’t see a car powered solely with solar to be practical since it would not run at night. It needs some kind of storage, even if it gets all its power from solar panels. But if you added efficient solar panels to a plug-in electric it could recharge while driving during daylight hours…at least to some degree…and if PV tech improves could run forever when the sun is out.
