A mobile charging station for a high voltage electric vehicle including a mobile vehicle for transporting charging apparatus. The charging apparatus includes an electric energy source for providing electricity, a circuit for converting the energy source electricity to a specific voltage range required by the electric vehicle to be charged and at least one connector engageable with a charging connector on the electric vehicle to be charged. The mobile charging station may be driven to the location of the electric vehicle. A vehicle charge may be initiated by a communication sent from a cellular device or a mobile communication device. The mobile charging station may include a remote command center capable of receiving communication from a consumer and remotely initiating a service call to the consumer or an automatic battery health and safety check system to ensure the battery is not leaking, or over heated to prevent vehicle fire.

An improved electrical power-generating system for an electric vehicle powered by at least one rechargeable battery and for a hybrid vehicle powered, at least in part, by at least one rechargeable battery. Each vehicle includes an upper portion and a lower portion spaced from the upper portion. The power-generating system includes a first pair of wind turbines arranged in a first airflow channel located in the lower portion; and a second pair of wind turbines arranged in a second airflow channel in the upper portion. The first and second wind turbines are operatively connected to the at least one battery.

A mobile power station for the purpose of recharging electric vehicles is provided. The charging station includes separate, but different, types of electrical generation capabilities. For example, the charging station may include two or more of: wind power, solar power and power generated from suspension mounted oscillators, which charge its battery pack over land. If desired, the mobile power station can be amphibious, as well, with the ability to navigate small and large bodies of water.

The method of parking and charging the individual vehicle providing for reception by the control center of parking stations territorial network of information from the individual vehicle user about stop waypoints for vehicle parking and charging along his planned route, establishment of communication between the user and control unit of this parking station, mating the electric connector of the vehicle battery with the connector of the parking station parking/charging terminal, charging the battery and storage of the vehicle, testing the charged condition of the battery and operability of the electric vehicle, time control of vehicle connection/disconnection to/from parking terminal, provides mutual settlements between the user and parking operator, and also engages the lock to fix the vehicle at the parking terminal and disengages the lock to ensure use of the vehicle.

An electricity generator includes a wind tunnel positioned on the vehicle. The wind tunnel has an open first end and an open second end. The open first end is in communication with ambient air. A turbine chamber is fluidly coupled to the open second end of the wind tunnel. At least one wind turbine is positioned in the turbine chamber. The at least one wind turbine includes a housing. A rotor is positioned in the housing along an axis that is substantially perpendicular to an axis of the wind tunnel.
