Ford patents battery in roof box

Works as a range extender

Ford has patented a range extender in the form of a battery that is placed on the roof of the car. This could potentially provide a few extra miles for an electric car or plug-in hybrid. The sketches show a Ford Bronco with a large roof box and a charging cable sticking out. You can either plug it into your own car or help someone who is stranded due to running out of battery.

As is often the case with patents, it's not certain whether this will actually be put into production.
