That's not how solar stations that exist now work. They charge batteries during the day, and the electricity from those batteries goes into the vehicle. Charging directly from solar panels would be way too slow for most people.
Still, I read about a year ago that someone had successfully tested IR nano-solar panels that use infrared, which we are bombarded with nearly 24/7. Those would be very useful.
