How about solar panels that are 11 times more efficient that currently available home solar panels? I'm talking a shift from 15% efficiency to 85% efficiency. Imagine what could be done with that technology (supposedly, it won't add much cost to current methods of production. I, for one, would currently need about 24 SunPower panels to run 75% of my electricity needs for my house. (That includes cloudy days, winter, and all that stuff) With the new panels, I'd only need about 3 of them.
The Prius Prime had solar panels that were to add about 2.2 miles of range to the (at the time) 20 miles range the car already had. These new panels would be able to add 24.2 miles of range as long as the battery could hold that much range. This would effectively double the range of the Prius Prime but in theory, If you had a 12 mile or lower commute and parked outside while at work and at home, you would be able to never have to plug in the car as long as it was just used for commutes. Now, wouldn't that be cool?
