Whostean, ya do realize that the energy required to run a turbine has to come from the motor of the car, so it would be a perpetual motion machine for a turbine powered generator to charge the battery to run the motor to push the car to make wind to run the turbine to charge the battery to run the motor.....if you reach down and try to pick yourself up by your own shoelaces you get where the problem lies within this system.
