ABSTRACT

Due to scarcity of fossil fuel in the future and its detrimental effect on the environment, an alternative energy which can be used is electricity. Electric cars are growing fast day by day. By utilizing the wind turbines and solar panels which are capable of generating electricity through natural sources that are air and sunlight. To increase the mileage of the cars these two sources can be combined. These can be done by solar panel mounted on the top of the car and wind turbines are mounted in the engine bay. These turbines can be used to produce electricity while traveling which can be used for charging batteries during the day time and night time, and solar panel generate energy in the day time only. These can be used to run only electronic gadgets like AC, charging port, LED display etc so as to increase the mileage of the car. In these paper we illustrate how car mileage is increased by utilizing the energy generated by solar panel and wind turbine which are mounted to a car for internal gadgets only, the vehicle runs on the battery which is charged manually.
