Can windmills be added to a BEV to extend its range?

Maybe, but not much, and only if they are put in the vorticies around the vehicle that are caused by poor aerodynamics. Better aerodynamics would be more effective. Similar to wheel generators, adding a windmill far from car’s airstream during steady speed flat driving would have heat losses and again take more energy to turn it than it would give back, even in a headwind. 39. Can BEV batteries that never need recharging work? No. A fusion reactor may last a very long time, but would run out once the mass ran out. No known small scale fusion reactors exist. Virtually endless energy could have global warming implications, so seeking such power supplies is controversial. BEV Conversions 40. What type of vehicles can I convert to BEV? Anything — scooters to buses and even planes have been done. But cost rises and performance drops with increasing weight and aerodynamic drag. Small vehicles may not have the space or payload to carry the large and heavy batteries required to go a reasonabl
