    Plants use energy from the sun to split H+ ions and O2, maybe he invented a photosynthesis car?

        They're really good at running on sunshine and very bad at all the things you would want a car to do.

        I mean, you don't really want a solar powered car. You want a battery powered car that's charged with solar energy collected on a prior day.

        That said, vehicles like the Sunswift lay the groundwork for efficient transfer of solar energy into mechanical energy. And there's definitely value in further researching this field of study for - say - building scale solar powered air conditioning or portable charge pads.
