A power system for an electric vehicle, the power system comprising at
least one power generating device selected from a group consisting of a
solar panel, a wind turbine capable of producing electrical power, an
auxiliary generator driven by an internal combustion engine, and a
generator for producing electrical power mechanically connected to, and
driven by the rotational force of an axle of a vehicle. The power system
being further comprised of a charging device, a battery control device,
at least one battery, a motor control device, an electric drive motor
electrically connected to the motor control device, and a driver
interface connected to the motor control device. The electric drive motor
may be used to generate power through regenerative braking. The wind
turbine may be raised outside the body of a vehicle while the vehicle is
not in motion. The solar panel may be disposed outside the vehicle while
remaining electrically connected to the charging device.
