There are at any one time a number of hybrid electrics that have "salvage" titles. You can even see 'basket' cases for very low dollars. My recommendation is if you really want to investigate this technology, start with a "salvage" or "rebuild" project car. Then add the solar stuff. Heck, add anything you want. Heck if all warranties have expired, it really is a 'project car.'
