The present invention relates to a photovoltaic electric vehicle charging system configured to recharge an internal battery of the electric vehicle for increasing range of the vehicle and for reducing frequency of visits to charging stations for charging the battery. In other embodiments, the system can be used for directly providing power to an HVAC system, a refrigeration system, and more, of the vehicles. More specifically, the system includes a set of solar panels integrated or retrofitted on an exterior surface of the vehicle for absorbing solar energy and converting same into electric energy. The electric energy is stored in the internal battery for providing power therefrom. The solar panels can be flexible, printed and can be attached using a fastening means such as an adhesive, magnetic fasteners, mounting rails, and more.
