I was inspired a bit by the Pininfarina B0 (B zero) in that the area in front of the windshield, as well as the roof, would have solar panels to help recharge the batteries and vent the cabin while parked. The Prius uses that solar vent feature, correct?
I think you're right.

Have you seen this? I posted it in another thread (I don't draw enough to have a fluid line). The windscreen would be a conic section with an irregular radius. I didn't draw them in, but the headlights would be under glass, like the taillights in the Pininfarina B0, or VW's Up!.
