It is about time that someone does something about the strangle hold big oil companies have on the world. I think it is a great idea.

This would apply to four tires and as long as the car is moving, the baterry would charge. The faster you go in MPH orKMH the higer generation of current supplied for the higher draw of KW power for the electric motor.

If not for that, and since not everybody, even luxury buyers, want an electric car that has a short range and a long recharge time (which has crippled electric cars in the past), that the self-generating electric car would be the only way Mercedes-Benz could go the 100% petroleum-free route by 2015. E-85 and biodiesel still contain petroleum products. If a combustion engine is used, perhaps it would be designed to run on PURE ethanol, not E-85, thus keeping the "petroleum-free" promise.
