I would buy a solar cell system to achieve that goal. You need to work toward more power if you really want to make a difference.

No way am I anywhere near the many kW of electrical need to run a car directly. It also would require a very large heat dump. I am just going for 2 to 10 Watts or so to trickel charge batteries for weeks for a 1 hour drive. I am not in the proof or business mode. Just in the have fun mode. I will leave it to Rossi and others to try for the kW or MW range. I am just not there. Note however, it will be designed so that the Cf portion can standalone or be used to charge the batteries.
