Can you put a wind turbine on an electric car?
If electric cars are powered by electric energy and are always in motion, could it be possible to generate electricity for the battery through its own renewable power source such as a wind turbine?

For consumers who are interested in going green, investing in a
hybrid or electric car
is a great move towards eliminating harmful tailpipe emissions from your carbon footprint.But not all energy from the power grid is green, and most electric car users will still be contributing to greenhouse gas emissions even after making the switch.
Since a car is always in motion when driving, it makes sense to consider the possibility of installing something like a wind turbine that could generate power for the car while it’s moving, but it may not work out so well in action.
Unfortunately, wind turbines create drag, and the drag created by the turbine would likely sap more fuel than the energy it generates.
Electric cars are the future of the automotive world, and
