The tesla has something similar already. As the vehicle brakes, it converts some of the energy and stores it back in the battery. It isn't very much though.
I guess you could put intakes or a hood scoop on the vehicle to convert wind into electricity while you are driving. I don't think you could generate enough electricity to keep the batteries charged though. You probably could extend the range of the vehicle by about 50 miles though.
