The fact that the truck looks like a Warthog from the Halo video games aside, I feel that this truck is destined for the defense market. Overly sturdy frame, bulletproof windows, no gasoline. Electric vehicles that can self-charge through solar seem to be a massive logistical advantage. You can reduce the need for fuel supply lines.

It could recharge through solar in a day or two, if you have a house's worth of panels, and the clouds cooperate.

Imagine deployable solar canvases! Similar to how satellites collect power. In the past two decades, I think this could have been useful. The US deployments were in the middle east (plenty of sunshine) and were mostly fought without a frontline through patrol missions out of bases (plenty of sitting around waiting for something to happen).
