KIA's new solar car dealership

While Kia may not sell an electric-powered vehicle yet, it is now possible to buy one of their cars at a dealership completely powered by the sun. Kia Motors South Africa is the first to open a flagship facility for the brand that maximizes sustainable energy and water usage practices. Electric power for the building comes from 288 roof-mounted solar panels which have the combined capability to power 22 households a day. Is this the start of a new type of dealership?
