    Can you tell me anything about the site that helped you find it? (As I am in the Los Angeles, CA area, a dealer in the Chicago area would be too far!)

    I even just put in solar charging roof, without anything else. The search engine took the word "roof", ignored the "solar charging" part, and showed me a lot of cars with moon roof, etc. Then I tried just the word "solar", and it changed my search to "electric", and showed me all kinds of EVs.

    Not much luck with cars.com

    Re: the question on the solar panel and the 12-volt system, a guy on reddit did a great analysis.

    I would NEVER compromise when you are thinking of spending that much money on a car! I just did a search on cars.com for a 2025 and this is what found (2 within 500 miles): https://www.cars.com/shopping/results/?exterior_color_slugs%5B%5D=blue&exterior_color_slugs%5B%5D=red&exterior_color_slugs%5B%5D=white&include_shippable=true&makes%5B%5D=toyota&maximum_distance=500&models%5B%5D=toyota-prius_plug_in_hybrid&page_size=20&sort=best_match_desc&stock_type=new&trims%5B%5D=toyota-prius_plug_in_hybrid-xse_premium&year_max=2025&year_min=2025&zip=90012
