Anyone driving one a Prius with solar power?
I keep seeing that really wierd commercial about the Prius with new solar powered ventillation. Is anyone here driving one of those yet or know anything about it?
I'm just wondering what the cons might be. Does it power the air conditioning unit or only the fan/vents? Does it power the heating element? And is there any fluctuation in the power or effectiveness of the ventilation based on how much sun is available? Does it recharge a battery? And what happens if there is no sun at all? |

I don't know about the solar powered Prius, but my dad drives the gas/electric Prius and it's been a pretty good car. Definitely worth buying. His savings on gas has been ridiculous. The only bad thing though is be prepared for the day you have to buy a new battery. They are extremely expensive. But the car is still worth it. My dad is buying his outright and plans to keep it forever, unless some better eco friendly and wallet friendly car is created.
