Solar Prius Rumors Are True

There have been lots of talk already about this solar powered Toyota Prius. And the talk has been getting louder because it just seems that more and more people really would like to see a car that gets much help from the sun. The prices for energy are really going up so it’s going to be a great help.

Anyway, at a recent auto event, Bob Carter of Toyota has already confirmed that there is indeed going to be some solar changes with the current Toyota Prius. However, what he did say was that the new Prius was going to have solar cells but it would not be powering the air conditioning unit of the vehicle. Instead, the power from the solar cells would be used to power the ventilation system.

Now that means less work on the air conditioning unit and less use of fuel and energy from the battery.

What’s your take on this?
