Zusammenfassung:A vehicle may include a battery and an antenna assembly mounted on the vehicle. The antenna assembly may be mounted on the roof of the vehicle. The antenna assembly may include a cooling arrangement electrically connected with the battery, a pair of thermally conductive plates, and a semiconductor sandwiched between the plates, electrically connected with the battery, and configured to, in response to a temperature difference between the plates, generate a current for the battery. A photovoltaic generator may be electrically connected with the battery to increase electrical generation.
