Abstract
A vehicle mirror includes a main body, a mirror fixed on the main body, and a generator. The generator includes a generating assembly received in the main body. The generating assembly includes a fan, a stator, and a rotor. The rotor is connected to the fan and is capable of rotating relative to the stator when the fan is rotated by wind, such that the generator generates electrical energy.
