No, at least not if I understand it correctly. The energy comes from whatever wind is blowing when you subtract the motion of the car.
One way to think about this is if you took the turbine off the car, put it in your yard, and used it to charge batteries. That would work, wouldn't it? So why wouldn't it work with the turbine on the car? Of course efficiency is another matter :-)
