Are you a homeowner? My tax person told me rebate is for homeowners only and I won't be eligible since I rent

Then there's charge rate. 120v outlets charge at 1.2 kW per hour, which is slow but not nothing, but the specs say it can generate 3 kWh per day using solar. So theoretically it would work, but so slowly that it would take 16 days to charge a 60 kWh ev battery from 10% to 90% using solar alone.
So if you're okay with taking 2+ weeks to charge your EV by generating electricity from solar and then plugging your EV in and charging it with that after the sun goes down each day then it works, but again, it's going to be SLOW.
EDIT: Reading through the specs a bit more, I realized I put 2 kWh capacity in my original comment, so correct that to 3.6 kWh. It also says that it can charge completely using solar in as little as 3.5 hours. What I don't see is if you can hook the solar panels up and charge the EcoFlow Delta with the solar panels and then just have that go straight to the EV, in which case you could potentially do more in a day, I just can't see if it is capable of that, but I would be surprised if it is.
Also, an interesting tidbit and answering the other aspect of your question: My Bolt EUV gets about 3 - 4.5 miles per kWh, depending on driving conditions. Flat areas and conservative driving will get you more, hills and fast driving will get you less. But if you are able to charge 3.6 kWh per day that is roughly 10 - 16 miles of range in a single charge. So if you just need to go into town every day or two, maybe that works for you.
That 220 watt panels is the real kicker here. That'll barely keep a laptop charged
You can source residential solar project left overs for pretty cheap however, roughly $100 per 400W panel. The portable 220W Ecoflow is only good for stuff like a laptop.
Useful if you want to recharge on a camping trip or perhaps during a power outage.
