But those comments about the inefficiency of electrolysis and solar
power? It doesn't matter if it is electrolysis produced by the suns
rays (photovoltaic) as it is free and is effectively going to waste
right now. Solar photovoltaic panels are getting more and more
efficient every year. Why not use them? Who knows, in a few years we
might well be able to power the wheels directly from solar power.

No matter what you do with the electricity out of the solar panels in a
car, be it use it directly, store it by a perfect method, or generate
hydrogen, the final energy you get to the weels will always be less than
what the panel produced. With perfect conversion, at most you get the same
energy.

That's all I meant.

Just have a look at the cars used for the solar car race in Australia, and
notice the big panels they carry.
