I honestly like the idea of solar charging in an electric offroader. It's free energy; even if it's only going to net you a few or several miles in a day, why not take it? Last I checked, gasoline vehicles can't magically generate more range sitting at a remote campsite.
As far as what electricity does for torque, well, the upcoming hybrid Tacoma makes 465 lb-ft of torque at 1700RPM, more than the old 5.7L V8 did. Makes about 200 lb-ft more torque than the old 3.5L, and makes it at less than half the RPM. In a pure electric, torque everywhere all the time is awesome.
