Charging an electric car with solar panels?

Well, what’s special about charging a car is the large amount of power needed. The results of my Google search indicate that the output of a “typical” panel used in a house is about 200W. How many panels are needed for how long to recharge a car? Is it practical, even if you’re also not attempting to power the rest of the stuff in the house?

The OP said money was no object, and he has acres of land, so he’s not worried about whether it’s practical or not.
