  • Why isn't US auto makers developing this further?

Solar-powered Prius

Hybrid's higher price tags are making them less appealing as a way to save money on gas. We need to find a way to make them cheap and use less gas. I don't see why we don't make hybrids that are capable of using multiple sources of energy: brake power, gas, electricity, solar power, food oils. The hybrids are designed to accept electricial input from a source if it can, so you can engineer it to charge the batteries with solar energy, and if it doesn't have any, revert to gas.
