Actually that's kinda cool. I wonder how much you would get if you attached a few more and then added solar panels to the top of the roof?

No I'm not anti wind, despite the death to birds. It's unfortunate but turbines kill a lot less birds than buildings, cats and air pollution.

Not true. A few years ago Tesla offered new batteries with better range for free to all Tesla Roadster owners. And just recently they announced a new 90kWh battery (up from 85kWh). And this year, Chevy is using new battery tech for better range on their EV's too.
