The new cars have systems in place where braking recharges the batteries, and so on. But what about wind power. On the top of the car you could have a blade that would be about, say 20cm tall and would spin as the car moves. There would be a grate on the front and back of the car to allow air flow and prevent people injuring themselves on it and also to hide it from sight. As the car moves, the blade spins, creating electricity. Imagine what kind of electricity can be made when you are on the freeways!! You could almost make it so that a battery starts the car moving, and when it gets up to, say 50km/h (or 30miles/hour in USA) it would spin like crazy and there would be no need of any additional power until the car slows down again.
