Solar is expensive.

Batteries are bad.

OTOH, on a sunny day there may be no need to burn fuel to generate a subsistence level of electricity.

PS, I have a few “portable” solar panels to help with backup power.

When the gas is finally gone, every now useless car (except for use as a storage bin) still contains a good alternator, battery, fan blade.

It doesn't take to much effort to come up with a small wind driven 12 volt power supply.
