Electric vehicle having a battery configured for recharging via an on-board generator powered by renewal energy sources

This is an electric car designed to recharge its battery using on-board renewable energy sources. It features wind generators that deploy to charge the battery when the vehicle is stationary and retract when it's in motion. Additionally, it incorporates a system that generates electricity from flowing fluid, using gutters and conduits to direct the fluid to a turbine.

Why it matters: Since 2009, battery energy density and the efficiency of small-scale renewable energy components have significantly improved. This, coupled with advances in lightweight materials and control systems, could make the complex deployable generators and fluid-powered turbine more practical to implement.
