No I mean if the cars generated their own energy, with no need for fuel.
Some cars have solar panels for this purpose. But it's not really practical to have. They are expensive if they break and very slow to charge a whole car lol.
^ To add onto that, there's a trade off for everything.
Using solar as an example, the power you get from a panel say on the car roof wouldn't necessarily give you enough extra power given the extra weight the panel would add to the car.
Most EVs have regen braking. This is a way to utilize the forward motion of the car to push power back into the battery for efficiency when you need to slow down or stop, but the you'll still use up more power than can be reclaimed through regen.
That's why the goal (at least for the foreseeable) is to switch to electric cars while in the background power grids can transition to greener sources of energy.

I think they need more work. Seems to be catching fire a lot.
