      That’s a very good question! One of the advantages of the artificial leaf is that they will still work when it’s overcast, just not as quickly as in direct sunlight. They aren’t actually attached to the cars – they would have to be arranged in large sets of panels (a bit like solar panels), and the hydrogen they generate collected and transported to a hydrogen filling station, where you would fill up with hydrogen in the same way you fill up with petrol!
