Your idea has similar implications as putting a solar panel on an EV: People often assume you're charging the pack with it, and driving for "free".
A panel may in fact be useful for keeping the 12v battery charged up (if you're not regularly running a DC-DC, as is the case with the ForkenSwift), but making that clarification to everyone who asks will take some effort.
You can be certain that if your goal is to draw attention to and spur conversation about EV's & renewable energy at shows/events, sticking a panel or turbine on your car will accomplish it. In spades.
