At 1:46: "When gas was expensive and scarce" 28.9 and 31.9.

Daryl Chapin was one of three credited with inventing the solar cell at Bell Labs in 1954. He was related to our neighbor and so I saw, as a mere sprout, the humble beginning of the solar car industry. He had a 1/10th scale car with cells on the roof and when he shone a flashlight on it it would move and when he took it away it stopped.

Comes now Aptera.
