Yes! Exactly this.

My last EV used 22 MWh over 6.5 years. That works out to 390W.

My solar array is located at high latitudes (northern Minnesota), the mounting angle isn't great, it's occasionally covered in snow, etc. In these conditions, I need 6.3 solar panels to produce 22 MWh over 6.5 years.

The area used by 6.3 solar panels -- enough PV to cover _all_ my EV's energy needs -- works out to be a parking spot large enough to fit the vehicle but not large enough to fully open any of the doors.
