An electric vehicle power system has a wind turbine 5 used to charge an onboard charge storage device whilst the vehicle 1 is moving. The fan may be mounted within the vehicle body to minimise additional aerodynamic drag. The turbine may be mounted within the forward compartment 3 of the vehicle, before the bulkhead with the passenger compartment 4. The charge storage device may be a battery, fuel cell or a supercapacitor in the vehicle.
