No it cannot, any attempt to generate power from anything other than waste heat or regenerative braking will cause extra drag and drag eats extra fuel. there is no way around it. Tapping any of the spinning parts to generate electricity makes them harder to turn which means more fuel to turn them. Using the motion of the air over a moving car to generate electricity causes drag which also eats more fuel. You cannot get something for nothing.
