Eco Car

What do you think of this idea for an automobile?

An electric mini van powered by Lithium ion Batteries that recharge from solar panels and wind chargers on the roof of it. While the vehicle is in motion, it should charge right? Also Lithium ion Batteries can give you up to 250 - 400 miles per charge. So what would be the potential problems with this and why hasn't anyone done it yet?

There are plenty of people who have been converting cars to electric running vehicles since the mid 70s 9maybe even before then), and some of them move up to speeds of 80mph.
But what about the idea of the propulsion or stationary position of the vehicle itself doing the charging. It might take some time, but after the initial investment, insurance payments and general maintenance costs re all that would be left. No stops at the gas station, no fluid changes (except transmission). So when is someone going to build it?

It is more efficeient and cheaper to put the solar pannels & wind turbine on the garage or elsewhere where they can be optimally sited: for sun, sutaibly angled and avoiding shading;
for wind away from turbulance and as high as possible;
or you can use Combined heat and power system with an office, or take advantage of larger more efficient grid connected renewable energy source that are already provided and maintained by the electric company.
plus grid connection means you can sell unused electric back to the grid http://www.udel.edu/V2G/

plus this saves top heavy weight and aerodynamic drag on the car and having to design the wind turbine/solar pannels to cope with the vibration and stresses of being on a car. (if a wind turbine produced more power than the drag induced then you would have perpetual motion!)

Electric Vehicle Battery $81.25 An electric vehicle battery (EVB) is a rechargeable battery used in electric vehicles, making them battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Batteries are usually the most expensive component of BEVs, although batteries from old or wrecked electric cars can be bought for batterytogrid minipower plants. The cost of battery manufacture is substantial, but increasing returns to scale may serve to lower their cost when BEVs are manufactured on the scale of modern internal combustion vehicles. Since the late 1990s, advances in battery technologies have been driven by skyrocketing demand for laptop computers and mobile phones, with consumer demand for more features, larger, brighter displays, and longer battery time driving research and development in the field. The BEV marketplace has reaped the benefits of these advances.
