Depends on how its stored, diesel needs to be sealed without any air and 
then it will last a very long time, I've also used petrol that was 5yrs 
old without a problem but its variable.

  A battery pack will last a lot longer. Prolly 20+ years.

A rather wild guess, batteries can last a long time if stored correctly 
but 10yrs is a more realistic guess.

Certainly possible to charge an EV from solar but EV's need lots and 
lots of power so it could take a very long time to fully charge unless 
you have a very big solar system.
The sort of portable solar panels that a survivalist could carry in a 
vehicle would take weeks to charge an EV.
