  "abstract": "Urban decarbonization is essential for meeting global climate goals; however, progress toward integrated lowcarbon urban energy systems remains inadequately slow. The SolarEV City Concept integrates rooftop photovoltaic (PV) generation with electric vehicles (EVs) as city-scale distributed mobile energy storage, using EV batteries to increase the value and flexibility of urban rooftop PV. Modeling studies suggest that high-penetration PV+EV systems could supply 60-95% of municipal electricity demand under scenarios aligned with future sustainable-city development, but real-world integration remains limited. Despite rapid worldwide growth of both PV and EV markets, bidirectional Vehicle-to-Home/Building (V2H/V2B) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) applications have advanced unevenly, revealing a persistent PV-EV integration gap. This critical integrative review analyzes this gap using a socio-techno-economic framework encompassing six interdependent dimensions: climate, urban structure, technology, economics, policy, and society, across nine countries: Australia, China, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, and the United States. Cross-national comparison shows that implementation is constrained by fragmented bidirectional-charging standards, immature valuestacking and compensation models, distribution-grid and market-access constraints, regulatory separation between energy and transport sectors, and equity barriers that disproportionately limit access for renters, apartment residents, and lower-income households. Five transition-pathway archetypes, ranging from Japan's resilience-driven V2H pathway to regulation-enabled commercial V2G pathways in France and the Netherlands, demonstrate that SolarEV Cities require a transition from parallel PV and EV promotion toward shared urban-energy visions, interoperable digital infrastructure, feeder-aware planning, inclusive market designs, and multi-stakeholder implementation platforms that convert rapid PV and EV innovation into scalable, resilient, and socially inclusive urban decarbonization.",
