2. use the electric current to take the water and electrolyze it into Hydrogen and oxygen. Then use the hydrogen to make fuel for larger vehicles.

Already been done. Stirling Engines aren't new and engineers have been working on putting them in hybrid cars for a while. Of course they can't replace internal-combustion engines because they take so long to warm up (lots of companies tried to use Stirlings in the `70s and actually succeeded, but then oil prices came down).
P.S. NASA has been working on Stirling Engines for a while. See http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/tmsb/stirling.html
