Solar flair can cool Toyota Prius


Toyota Prius T Spirit models will now be available with an optional Solar Pack, that uses solar panels in the car's roof to help power a small electric fan that circulates air around the cabin.
You can trigger the system from the key fob so that when you get into the car it's already nice and cool.
Toyota says it can reduce temperatures from 80C to 45C. (Even so, I wouldn't want to drive a car that was 45C inside.)
The solar panel system means you don't need to turn the air-conditioning on full blast, meaning you use less fuel.
But since the Solar Pack costs £1,450, I'd opt for the old-fashioned, cheaper, fuel-efficient method of opening a window. Link.......
