Teslas do this just running off of the battery pack. In my experience it doesn't use a ton of power to do it.

A solar panel to make it net neutral energy to keep cool would still be nice.

That would be ideal. At the moment (and hopefully not for much longer) gas engines meet my needs better, so the solar panels would be an interim solution.
