ok im at a lose.....i worded wrong or im just not getting this..lol....the alts are for power to batt's only ... if the batt's don't have constant charge they drain rt? the alts r to keep the batteries charged...i.e. the pic....just on a hypothesis ...this seems as a simple remedy for power lose(due to battery power drain).... the weight would seem to matter in my thinking ...because each vehicle type can range from 100-/+ to 1000-/+ USING THE SAME MOTOR (ELECTRIC
) in general weight ...not the motor of course...lol (weight )....but in general the system would work like a regular gas car .....welll the alternator part of it...keeping the battery charged
