wind turbines in the front grill to provide charging.

The law of the conservation of energy says this will not work. Any charge such turbines produce will be negated by increase aero drag.

I thought that after I posted (honest) but surely they could use clever ducting to channel the used airflow away, this ducting could have smaller turbines at the end for the focused air to be used as well.

Using vanes angled for propulsion could also generate a small amount of thrust. Bit like propeller aircraft but using natural aero for power and battery charging.

I’m off to patent this idea…

Just moving my line of thought on a bit, if Tesla and Dyson joined forces between them they could create a form of natural propulsion that would not only generate charge for the batteries but ■■■■ the truck along using the biggest area of drag since Cyril Smith put a dress on.

Think I’m entering the realms of perpetual motion here but would only work at higher speeds.

No wonder I have a 166 IQ… :wink:
