The increasing demand for sustainable transportation has led to the exploration of innovative solutions to extend the range and efficiency of electric vehicles (EVs). This paper proposes a conceptual framework for utilizing front-wheel power generation as a means to augment the range of EVs. The concept revolves around the integration of regenerative braking systems with specialized generators or alternators installed in the front wheels to capture kinetic energy during deceleration and convert it into electrical energy. This harvested energy is then stored in the vehicle's battery pack for later use, thereby extending the vehicle's range. The abstract outlines the key components and principles of front-wheel power generation, emphasizing its potential to enhance the performance and viability of EVs in the face of growing environmental concerns and energy efficiency targets. Additionally, it highlights the need for further research and development to optimize the efficiency, reliability, and integration of such systems into existing vehicle architectures.
