Yea but there's the fact that the alternator is driven by the engine, which is powered by gasoline. If you put more load on the charging system, it is going to make the engine work harder to keep up, therefore consuming more gas in the process. Currently it doesn't look like there are any systems efficient enough to overcome this.
