Why can’t this work:
NASA uses plutonium-238 to generate electricity for satellites in its deep space missions. Using this general approach, can a car battery be continuously charged and that battery used to power a car? Sure, new tech would have to be developed, but is this idea impossible?

Is that somehow different than how an alternator works?

I think it’s basically the same, but you gotta get the mechanical energy from somewhere and I suggest this plutonium isotope is the place.
