Or rather than trickle, you could use a solar panel to charge it up. The nice prius uses it to run the AC so the car is cool when you get back in, it may work. I suppose a lot depends on when one drives, how they drive, parking garages at home/work.

Nice to see continued exploration on FE! Often I read over the site and begin to think we have found almost everything we can do.
