    Toyota brings back the solar panel on the Plug-In Prius Prime – but now it powers the car | Electrek

    The automaker plans to bring it to America, but the reinforced glass sheeting currently used for the solar panel is not passing the US rollover crash tests. They are reportedly working on a solution, but there’s no timeline for a US debut.
