IIRC some (if not all nowadays) full-size trucks have alternators with a capacity larger than 220-amp. But anyway, other factors should've been considered too. But for my usage, with fewer "adaptations" to decrease overall electricity usage while not compromising comfort at all, would still be suitable. Sure with more folks at home steadily, and eventually running all the appliances on electric power only, there would be a need to scale it up.
