Could 2009 bring us a Solar Powered Prius?
As long as the sun continues to shine the Prius will rule our roads…or at least keep its occupants chilled with air conditioning. Toyota is almost ready to implement solar panels on their 2009 Toyota Prius for the purpose of taking some of the electrical strain off the motor when powering A.C.
Your typical gas-electric motor Toyota Prius
It’s a small step in big direction for any automotive manufacture. The solar-crystal panels soak up energy and transform it into extra power for the air conditioning unit. Running your air can add to the struggle of keeping a vehicle moving at a constant speed while cooling off occupants. Now, that pressure is taken off of the motor. Soon, you may see the gas-electric-solar Prius at a car dealer near you! Talk about a tri-powered automobile.
Is it possible - a 2009 Solar Powered Prius?
So, what’s next for the solar powered car? Maybe all internal and outside lights could run on stored solar energy. Or why not operate power windows via sunlight? If the world will be overrun with solar powered vehicles we may soon see the extinction of the garage.
