With the push for automobiles to go green, harnessing electrical power while you drive is getting closer than you think. Solar power is there for the taking, but getting it to power your car has taken some time for engineers to develop.
Hyundai has made a breakthrough with its new Sonata Hybrid.
This hybrid has solar panels, which can power a few extra miles of driving a day. The panels are locked on the top side of the vehicle, from the hood, rooftop and trunk lid to help give you those extra miles, and keep your batteries charged while you drive. The company claims its shiny photovoltaic top could give the car an additional 808 miles of travel each year.
Those can add up to savings.
Happy Motoring.
