Solar-powered Prius

August 17, 2005

Well, not really solar-powered so much as solar-boosted. Somebody has modified an old Prius with solar cells on the roof. But it only improves fuel efficiency by about 10%, not nearly enough I’m sure to justify the cost of the solar cell mod.

I’m waiting for the solar-powered hybrid sports car. For my inevitable mid-life crisis which should be coming up any time now.
