Electric/Hybrid cars already sort of do this but on breaking:

I think this is also roughly how alternators work but in that case some of the energy from the fuel is being put into the battery, here it wouldn't make sense because you would just the looping it from the battery and back into the battery. Instead electric cars look at conserving energy in other ways such as the breaking.
