A system and methods are provided for a wind scoop charging system for recharging onboard batteries during operation of an electrically powered vehicle. The wind scoop charging system comprises a wind scoop configured to be coupled with a hood of the vehicle. One or more air inlets are disposed in the wind scoop to receive an airstream during forward motion of the vehicle. A wind turbine is disposed within the wind scoop and rearward of the air inlet. The wind turbine is configured to produce an electric current upon being turned by the airstream. A power cable is configured to direct the electric current from the wind turbine to one or more electronic devices that are configured to utilize the electric current. The electronic devices may include any of an onboard battery for powering the vehicle, mobile phones or smart phones, portable music players, tablet computers, cameras, and the like.
