Why don't electric cars self charge? The wheels are turning. It's about money. Charging you electric. Actually the reason is efficency and weight.

My Honda civic hybrid had regenerative charging, it supplied a bit of power to the battery when the car was braking or moving with no acceleration, e.g. going down hill or coasting. However, if the dashboard gauges were anything to go by, the regen provided less than 1% of the power.

Yes I believe its about money and charging the driver for fuel. In other words, cars have been self propelled and charging for years. Now they say. Too much weight to fit additional alternators

You use more power than you generate..... (perpetual motion)
 
Perpetual motion machines do exist (I have seen them on youtube so must be true) it is just the electric and oil companies conspiring together so they can sell there energy drug we all need.
The machines exist to power themselves running. But put a load through one and they quickly stop.

Realistic we need to use Hydrogen fuel cells (absolutely zero infrastructure for that), or have ICE powered electric cars. Similar to the Fisker, or locomotives. A small ICE generator which is used to power the battery packs. They'd still put out virtually no CO2 as the engine will only be used to make electric, rather than haul around upwards of 2t of metal and rubber. Battery packs wouldn't need to be as big as the ICE can happily top them off, rather than having to be huge to give range. We already have the infrastructure in place to top off the fuel tanks, and considering most cars now have artifical engine noises anyway, that satisfies that visceral holdup people have with EVs.

I've solved the worlds problems, all while taking a ****. You're welcome world.
