In the "American Solar Challenge" solar powered vehicles are driven across the country, can get up to ~50mph and never use a drop of fuel. Now, I understand that the weight of these vehicles is next to nothing, plus the streamline, no drag design is not conventional to America's current standards, but at least it's a proof of concept that in a few years the technology may be there to make this a practical option.
