Solar Electrical Vehicles
These guys have designed a photo voltaic panel that fits perfectly with the roof line of the Toyota Prius. It allows the Prius to operate in electric mode up to 20 miles per day adding up to 29% in fuel economy.
The system costs $2000-$4000 and the payback time is said to be 2-3 years...To date, the company has manufactured nearly 100 of the kits to individual buyers. “Four dollars is the break-even point for these kits,” Johanson said. “Then it pays for itself in two years..."
Oh, and they're working on a Highlander application.
