A solar extended range electric vehicle includes panel deployment and emitter tracking features. In one aspect, the vehicle includes one or more deployment motors for deploying the solar panels from their closed position upon activation of a stationary mode. In another aspect, the vehicle provides dynamic emitter tracking in the stationary mode. For example, the one or more deployment motors and/or counterpart processing systems are configured in one embodiment, to rotate, translate, or otherwise orient their respective solar panels to track the sun. The vehicle may further include a dynamic leaning suspension system as an additional or alternative emitter tracking mechanism.
