Car roof mounted photovoltaics
Mitsubishi MiEV concept:-

Only serves to illustrate the pointlessness of photovoltaics on cars. Keep them on houses.

To increase the utilization efficiency of energy, the i MiEV SPORT is equipped with a photovoltaic generator attached on the roof and a power-generating fan inside the front grill.
...
When the car is slowing down, the fan inside the front grill is rotated for the power generation.

Better tweak your regen. For much less money you'll benefit much more.

You could put magnetic induction coils under the freeway and recharge as you drive.

They could make them oscillate such that you have to go the speed limit to get power.
