Toyota is trying to develop its first all-solar commercial car. According to the report, the new solar car will be covered in solar cells and will also be an electric plug-in, similar to the Chevy Volt.

If Toyota is indeed cooking up a solar vehicle, it would have the first commercial solar concept car.

According to the reports, it can plug into household sockets to harvest energy from solar panels on the home. However, according to the report, the automaker eventually wants to ditch the plug and make the vehicle entirely independently solar-powered.

A top business daily, The Nikkei, is reporting that Toyota is developing a new vehicle which will be powered solely by solar energy. The report was released on Thursday, and Toyota was unavailable for comment.
