Of course, put that many TEGs on the cooling system and you are turning so much coolant heat into electricity that the cooling effect on the engine could adversely effect fuel economy by keeping the engine quite a bit colder than desgined. You'd need to adapt the radiator size, too, I think. More cost. Better to stick to exhaust waste heat.
