Considering they only generate energy at about 30% of their rated capacity(1), and early electric vehicles(2) like tesla model S can have 100Kwh batteries already, can anyone do the math for the quantity of windmills needed for the volume of cars on the road?

(1) due to unstable winds, minimum start up speeds, maximum outsput caps, and high speed termination to save them breaking.

(2) by early electric vehicles, I mean as battery tech evolves past lithium ion to contain more electrical energy, this question will be even more unrealistic and retarded.

Yep. Thus my comment about destroying the grid. But OPs question is very strange. Why care about electric cars if they are destroying the grid. As that effects everyone and not just electric cars.
