The engine has a generator/starter on it. It starts the engine, and after the engine starts, it charges the battery. Very old cars had this on them. Somehow, we went to a separate starter and a separate generator/alternator. If you were to try this, your generator/starter might need as much as 3 KW to start the engine.
