His above solution was the same I proposed. It's a 240v.That starts to sound feasible, around 5 days of charging.
Is your inverter 240V or just 120V?
If 240V, you should be able to get full (80%) in one overnight charge session.
If you do it nightly, it will just mean you have empty batteries every morning.
If 120V, it's miserably long, maybe over a week at this point.
So indeed, about 500 miles per week, that's about right with your setup. Bu that's not really in this thread's concept "Solar panels and battery to get unlimited range ..."
It's very limited range. 6 weeks to cross the country is far from unlimited!
Actually his proposal is exactly that. As mine was. Just the sun.
My neighbor down the street still doesn't understand it. I can see maybe you don't as well.
When one works from solar we tend to be very comfortable with speed. When someone lives on the grid and is only used to grid. Those people tend to think the other world is impossible. Some on this thread seem to fall into this camp.
