Zusammenfassung:A system and method for enhanced operation of an electric vehicle having a main battery for powering an electric drive motor by which the vehicle is drivable, including at least one air intake device operable, in forward motion of the vehicle or when the vehicle is stationary, to capture and channel air in flow through the intake device to at least one turbine adjacent to an outlet end of the air intake device to drive the turbine(s) to generate a first electrical energy at a first energy level and/or including one or more photovoltaic solar panels integrated with or adjacent to one or more body components of the electric vehicle and the one or more photovoltaic solar panels is/are adapted to generate a/the first energy at a/the first energy level. A secondary battery pack connected to an electrical energy outlet of the turbine(s) and/or photovoltaic panels receives the electrical energy generated by the turbine(s) and/or photovoltaic panels. A first auxiliary electric motor is drivable by the secondary battery pack for rotating an output shaft of the first auxiliary electric motor. A second auxiliary electric motor having an input shaft connected to the output shaft of the first auxiliary electric motor has an output terminal connectable to the main battery of the vehicle. A transmission couples the output and input shafts and provides a rotational speed step up from the first to the second of the auxiliary electric motors, whereby the second auxiliary electric motor is drivable to generate a second electrical energy, at a second energy level higher than the first energy level, able to be supplied from the output terminal of the second auxiliary electric motor to the main battery and/or the drive motor of the vehicle. L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de fonctionnement amélioré d'un véhicule électrique ayant une batterie principale pour alimenter un moteur d'entraînement électrique au moyen duquel le véhicule peut être entraîné, comprenant au moins un dispositif d'admission d'air ayant pour fonction, en marche avant du véhicule ou lorsque le véhicule est à l'arrêt, de capturer et canaliser de l'air en écoulement à travers le dispositif d'admission vers au moins une turbine adjacente à une extrémité de sortie du dispositif d'admission d'air pour entraîner la ou les turbines en vue de produire une première énergie électrique à un premier niveau d'énergie et/ou comprenant un ou plusieurs panneaux solaires photovoltaïques intégrés ou adjacents à u
