No I am afraid it wouldn't work, even with an initial push :) This would
only work if the car expended no power to maintain it's speed (which is not
the case), and if all efficiencies in the system were 100% (which is not the
case), otherwise each time you go round the closed power loop you loose
power, perpetual motion just doesn't work you know :/

An initial push would be required (perhaps from a batery), but once
the car was up to speed the power to maintain the speed would be
supplied electrostatically rather than electromagnetically.

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 :)
