Solar and Wind powered Kei Van

I thought this was awesome and sorry if this is old news (it recently appeared on digg.com but I know the project is a few years old). This guy made a kei van an EV using both solar and wind power. Here's a link to the youtube video:

I saw this url on his steering wheel (solarvan.co.uk) but it has since been replaced. Here's an archived version of the website:

pretty cool

 

Looks like a fun project! Great innovation.

 

Very cool I say

 

Super cool, but getting a bit dated. Lithium batteries are good, but it needs a new motor. Maybe this one? (if it gets into mass production)

 

WOOOOWWWWWEEEEE! IIIIII LLLLOVE IT! Wish I could do that.
