Environmental Car For Geeks
The "car" is billed as the world's first mass produced energy autonomous vehicle. It's designed for daily driving in urban areas and is powered by electricity via 3 sources; plug-in, solar and wait for it... wind. The roof is equipped with advance photovoltaic cells to quickly harness the power of the sun keeping you juiced and ready to go. To support that system is a wind turbine that extends up and out capturing the power of wind should there be a gust and both are augmented with an advance plug-in system for those overnight recharges.
The vehicle goes on sale in Europe June 2007 for about $31,000 USD. There are no plans for the Eclectic in the US, but one can only hope something similar is a-brewing but better looking please. At least add some doors!
