It isn't so farfetched of an idea, but with a twist. Use a
radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG) for electricity
generation which then charges the "traction batteries" in the vehicle.
The traction batteries then supply the energy to the electric drive
motor for the vehicle.

The RTG, itself, generates low wattage, but as a continuous energy
source, it would be fine for most vehicles as it would function as a
built-in "plug-in" power source.
