In Sedan, Mr. Leroy, a retired person, replaced the combustion engine of his 2hp by a 72 volt electric motor. From 20km / h, a propeller at the rear of the vehicle comes into motion to reload the vehicle. He was asked by the authorities “to cover the propeller with a fence”. The range is 40km at a speed of 40km / h and the cost of charging is only 30 cents.
If this prototype is unable to generate more energy than it consumes, it remains an interesting historical invention. Indeed, it is the creation of a passionate individual without big fundings, who seeks to implement energy solutions to improve his personal vehicle. This shows that energy is the business of everyone, companies but also individuals.
