Not a good idea.
The cars will use more fuel because of the magnetic drag.
As car engines are not terribly efficient anyway (25-30% for a petrol engine, 30-50% for a diesel) this would use a lot more fuel and create a lot more pollution than if the same power was generated at an oil-burning power station.
