This pic reminds me of a picture floating around the interwebs where some guy installed four * 140A alternators in his pickup, to power his radio. That's about 7.8KW of power, versus my 1.0L hybrid's 10KW onboard generator. Anyway, he could use his alternators for regenerative braking.

There's probably cheaper ways to achieve the same result, though.
