They have a range of about 30km. They could be charged up during the day at work. If powered by nuclear, solar, or hydro power there would be a great reduction in greenhouse gas as freeway fulls of cars would not be needed on the daily commute. I realise they would need minor adaptions for weather. What do others think?

My home-built wind turbine has been modified with new high-efficiency blades and a larger tail area. The turbine now starts up at lower wind speeds and produces more power. See more on this project at mdpub.com.

Ensupra grid tie power inverter can obtain the wind and solar energy from wind turbine or solar panel, and can tie to the grid through its output cable with no extra equipment.
The installation is Do-It-Your Self (DIY).
When the sun shines, the PV panel will produces DC voltage, and the grid tie inverter will change the DC voltage to AC voltage and puts out power to the home grid, saving electricity.
INSTALLATION:
1, Connect the Solar Panel or Wind Turbine s DC supply cables to the DC input terminal of the inverter, be sure that the polarity is correct.
Recommended DC input cable size for maximum output is 12AWG or cables that can handle more than 15A. Optimal length would be less than 8m, longer cables will experience higher voltage drop. The range of output power of Solar Panel or Wind Turbine is 50W~550W.
2, Connect the supplied AC power cord to the inverter and plug it to a home wall socket.
3, The green LED indicators will glow when the grid and DC supply is detected. This indicates the inverter is operating under normal condition. The red LED will be on, the inverter will not put out power, this is called Island Protection.
Please follow local regulatory electrical codes for installation. If in doubt, consult appropriate licensed contractor.
