MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114268 A) filed by IMS Engineering College, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Nov. 18, 2025, for 'hybrid wind-assisted electric vehicle system for enhanced energy efficiency and extended range.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. K. V. Ojha; and Arth Saxena.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a Hybrid Wind-Assisted Electric Vehicle System designed to enhance the energy efficiency and driving range of electric vehicles by harvesting renewable wind energy during vehicle motion. The system comprises strategically positioned micro wind turbines integrated into the vehicle's aerodynamic structure, which convert kinetic airflow into electrical energy through compact generators and power conditioning circuits. An artificial intelligence-based energy management controller dynamically monitors vehicle speed, battery state, and power demand to optimize energy distribution between auxiliary and main battery systems. The invention further incorporates adaptive aerodynamic panels, safety disengagement mechanisms, and thermal regulation features to ensure reliable operation. By intelligently utilizing wind energy in conjunction with existing regenerative systems, the proposed design reduces dependency on external charging infrastructure and promotes sustainable, self-sufficient electric mobility."
