Worth trying to figure out to put it mildly.
First thing comes to my mind is steam regeneration next is making it a electrical generation system that turns heat into electricity for storage and use later for the cars needs.

Combine both ideas and its a steam engine for electricity production.
At that point, might as well go full steam. Fyi, for the racers amongst us, the landspeed records for steam are ridiculously old and low.
