My fiancee asked me about putting an alternator on the electric motor to recharge it as you drive, but after realizing that the battery packs need far more power than the alternator can produce, I started wondering about combined recharging methods to further increase the range before the batteries drain.
Of course, you'd have the solar panel roof, but I was also thinking about using wind turbines to power small generators, and run the air behind the car to help fill the wake to a small degree.
It's no perpetual motion machine, but it could at least help you not plug it in as long and save or make a little more power, similar to the radiator duct of the P-51 Mustang.
