Is there any way to add solar power to the EDrive system?
While solar panels integrated on a vehicle roof could partially recharge the batteries during the day (3-4 miles of additional range) on a Toyota Prius, this might degrade the vehicle aerodynamics significantly. Home rooftop solar could allow EDrive customers who choose to install such systems to harvest a large portion of their vehicle power from renewable solar energy. Similarly, those who have the option of buying renewable power for their homes can use the clean power to displace gasoline with an EDrive system.
