This author recently saw a beige 2002 Ford Windstar with 168,000 miles priced at $9,995, fer chrissakes. Daddy Warbucks, who may be shopping for a brand-new car, is directed towards the likes of a Mazda 3 or Honda HR-V. As you’d expect from these types of data-driven organizations, the roster is a bit more than a popularity contest.

Thankfully, in 2012, Disney attracted a new sponsor, Honda, and in 2016, Honda upgraded the engines to small four-stroke engines, reducing noise and pollution significantly. But Honda themselves have been behind the ball on the EV transition as well. 2016 was also notably after EVs had proven themselves in the automotive realm.

Today’s technologies for making biofuels all rely on photosynthesis—either indirectly by converting plants to fuels or directly by harnessing photosynthetic organisms such as algae. Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions.
