The counter question to this is how much Solar-Power or Cell-Size is needed to replace or augment this loss [in mechanical efficiency - due to cost cutting at the Alternator factory].
Personally I have a few small Solar Panels that I could easily junk out my cars with.
The question is really how much fuel am I wasting by not charging the battery with those small Solar Panels ?
