Cost/benefit aside, at least it's a low profile installation that will have minimal aero impact.

I have to wonder how much it's a marketing exercise for the Prius. Sales have tanked dramatically in recent years. Or it could be a distraction from the fact Toyota is lagging on EV development.

I bet Marketing was behind this, at least in part.
