A method and system for extending the range of an electrically powered vehicle, the vehicle comprising a solar array power source capable of delivering electrical power when illuminated by solar radiation and a battery storage system, the method comprising the steps of: estimating a solar exposure for the solar array power source over a future period of time; estimating a voltage output value for the solar array power source based on the estimated solar exposure; determining a whether the storage system has capacity for the estimated photovoltaic output value; and in response to determining that the battery storage system has capacity for the estimated photovoltaic output, causing charging of the battery storage system by the solar array power source.
