Nah the Ampera didn't charge itself from the ICE, although there was a way to force it to but I'm not sure it was a very cheap way to do it. It was called Mountain mode where the ICE and Electric worked together to give it a bit more oomph for long hills. On a flat road and if the EV battery was < 50% it would put in a few miles but you could hear the engine running harder to do it.
