The work used to turn the alternator (or generator) will always be more than the output energy provided by the alternator. Input = Output + Losses. Output < Input, always.
EV motors can become generators and recharge during coasting/braking. That's what regenerative braking is. It's how the new Toyota RAV4 Prime gets such good fuel economy - it balances motor contribution and regen.
