An electric vehicle has an electric drive motor which is coupled to drive train for converting the rotational movement of the motor into linear motion of the vehicle and an energy storage device to provide power for the motor uses. Present invention takes advantage of the powerful wind force generated by the vehicle motion. Wind driven turbine of particular design is mounted to rotate the wind energy capturing device upon or in the upper portion of the roof and other is installed under the bonnet area of an electric vehicle to transform wind energy into electrical energy for feeding such energy into the battery pack as the vehicle is being driven forward. At least six wind energy capturing devices are coupled for generating a fast electric potential for recharging the power source. Said wind energy capturing devices would be mounted on particular designed housing and suitable clamps. The motive power of the air rotates the wind-turbines, which are rotatably engaged with an armature shaft to produce electrical energy that is used to continuously recharge the batteries in all phases of road travel, that power the vehicle. Thereby driving range is extended of the vehicle between external charging cycles and reduces time required for that. The design is also prioritized Energy-efficiency and cost-effectiveness of electric vehicles. It also becomes an approach to more environment-friendly rather than the conventional vehicles.
