A fews days ago Straightline reported that the next Toyota Prius would offer solar power on top trim levels to power air conditioning and other accessories (Next Toyota Prius to offer solar panels). Now there's word of a Swiss company, Mindset AG, that has plans to bring to market a solar-powered hybrid called the Six50. They're planning on a run of 10,000 vehicles, each selling for $78,000.
Mindset claims it can go 100km per charge. ...Oh, and it has gull-wing doors.

I would be shocked if they could sell 10,000 of these a year at $78K.

Hope it has an 8-track player to go along with those white wall tires. LOL

Looks like someone finally thought of integrating a solar camper shell on the back of an El Camino. :)
