Is it possible to convert your car to electric and make it charge itself while driving

I often wondered if it could be done by using 2 seperate packs switchable (1 drives while other charges) or 1 bigger pack both with linked multiple batterys. could either or both be charged up with high output alternaters (or generators) to extend or eliminate charge time at terminal.

That isn't quite how it works.

there isn't enough power to charge the battery fully while driving. that is why with the hybrids out today, you can drive up to like 40 - 60 miles on a single charge. but if you drive to fast like 60+ mph or to far, you use some gasoline while driving. which is why they get like 60 MPG because it isn't much gas to help recharge the batteries to use them to power the car
