Recharge Your Electric Car With Your Own Personal Wind Turbine
By Michael J. Coren
Want to stay ahead of the Jones' who drove home a new electric Ford Focus with its own solar unit last weekend? Power your car up with the personal wind turbine out back behind the rose garden. That's now possible with the release of a wind-powered EV charging station developed by GE and Urban Green Energy known as the "Sanya Skypump." The Skypump is a miniature vertical wind turbine that "offers a net-zero energy solution for EV drivers around the globe," wrote David Droz at Urban Green Energy by email.
