New Lamborghini Countach EV not electricity-dependant
A new concept wind and solar powered car from Lamborghini solves the problem of efficiently charging the batteries of electric cars.
High fuels prices alone provide enough reason to consider buying a hybrid electric car but then you have to consider the price of electricity to recharge your car’s batteries, which doesn’t come cheap these days.
Aside from the costs of running these vehicles, the carbon footprint of both traditional cars and electric cars are worryingly high. While electric cars don’t emit harmful gasses like traditional cars, they depend on energy from coal fired power plants. What options does this leave you with? Well, how does an electric Lamborghini car that recharges its batteries entirely from wind and solar power energy sound?
The sleek race car, designed by Flavio Adriani, works with onboard solar and wind energy generators and boasts a streamlined, lightweight design for optimum speeds. The Lamborghini Countach EV, a redesign of the original Countach, supports discrete photovoltaic solar panels near its rear and wind turbines under the car’s hood enabling it to generate more than enough electricity to keep it running. Once the batteries are recharged, they power a set of motors in the wheels and mobilise the car.
For the public, the concept car promises the realisation of an age old dream: transportation that is completely independent from an external power supply, except for the natural elements, and doesn’t pollute and harm the environment. Unfortunately, at present, these wind and solar powered cars are extremely expensive to produce and exorbitantly priced but they hint at a future free of air pollution and political struggles over energy resources.

Well Done !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the way of the future. Is it possible that you could look at a model for a home with out using the national grid.
The wind turbines are too expensive, even if you combine this with solar power. Maybe you could come up with a cheaper idea that will make this cost effective for the man in the street.
Think about, would you rather sell 1 at 100000 or sell 100000
at 10000, the reason I say this is because, almost all the leading companies in this department is focused on coming up with a solution, but it is too expensive. Some body needs to change the way they think, than may be we can find the answer.
