    Beyond improving battery technology solar might help reach this goal too. The new top trim Prius Prime has solar panels, which MKBHD highlighted can add minimal range. Maybe as solar tech improves they can add more panels to the car and recharge the battery faster.

      A car uses ±100kwt and the sun can provide <1kwt for the car size area. So it’ll add <1% to the range regardless of solar panels efficiency.
