Man Uses Wind Power to Charge Electric SUV

Man Uses Wind Power to Charge Electric SUV

An owner of a Toyota RAV4 PHEV built a device that uses wind to generate electricity.

This homemade device is like a tiny windmill.

It charges the car's battery by turning a turbine, which creates electricity.

While it's cool to see, this method charges the car very slowly.

It might take a long time to fully charge the RAV4 PHEV's battery and would be even slower for a fully electric car.

Even though it's slow, it's a creative way to charge an EV, which could prevent the owner from being stranded.
