A system and apparatus having a wind turbine used in connection with an electric vehicle configured to supply supplemental power to a battery so as to extend the battery life of an electric vehicle. The apparatus includes a flow director or air foil configured to direct air to at least one twisted savonius turbine. The present apparatus, method of use and system details utilization of said air into a wind turbine connected to a vehicle. The turbine is configured to generate electricity which is in turn fed back into the vehicle's battery system. Use of the wind turbine as described herein is configured to extend the battery life of an electric vehicle thereby increasing the range, as measured by distance traveled, between battery recharges.
