i keep hearing about these paper thing printed solar cells.. once these hit the market, it may be possable to solar charge you battery enough to surfice.. especially if you in california or other sunny locations.. but as of now .. its expensive not easy to make it areodynamic and not really functional becuase of those two points..
Howeverm some are experimenting with making there alternator switchable so they can use it when there are wasting power like under breaking etc.. i really like the idea of adding a BIG alternator that i can switch off durring driving and energise it when I use the breaks.. this is using the wasted power of breaking..
for instance get a high amp alternator that takes 4 hp to run.. then the only time its used is when you hit the breaks.. thats 4 hp less your breaks need to work to slow the car... others are doing it so that when there car sees less than 10 volts the alternator then kicks in too.. check the threads on it in the forum and youll see lots of stuff going on in the alternator arena.
