230 MPG Hybrid

IMHO, I think all electric vehicles should incorporate a solar panel in the roof, so when the vehicle is sitting in the driveway or at work, it's charging (when sunny of course).
Like this one that just came out for the Prius - rather than flat, it conforms to the roofline:

Why waste all that free sun power!
 
I hear ya on that! Mine is still a bit ugly but very slowly I'm bringing her back to life!
 
I think the look of this will scare the hell out of most americans and they will not want to buy it for fear of looking stupid.

It always boggles my mind when companies design stuff that looks like this.

It may look cool to a small group of people but the average american is EXTREMELY conservative and wold never bee seen in something like this.

Too bad too cause boy oh boy do we need some alternatives to fossil feuls

Actually it does have solar cells on the roof that power the climate control. They might provide additional power as well, im not sure.
