Harry let me explain. Energy has to come from outside the system, e.g. from
a filling station or from the electric mains socket.
Tapping ambient EM radiations would work. If you aren't lucky enough to live
at the foot of the Eiffel tower or similar powerful radioemitter you could
have photovoltaic panels embedded in the car's body which would tap the
ambient light in daytime (plus the streetlight's light in nighttime if you
don't have a garage but that's negligible compared to the sun's 1kW/m2 :)

No :)) You seem very keen on perpetual motion systems Harry :)
Good link, Terry. These motorized wheels definitely are the right thing to
do in a purely electric vehicle.

hmmmm....you could put an electrostatic motor in a wheel
and keep it charged by dragging a chain as the car moves.
or no?

Electric motors can be coupled directly to wheels, can't they?
Yes, and I believe they can even be located inside the wheels. It may
have been done already actually.
