They are designing vehicles, or engines, where the alternator is the starter, but it won't be belt-driven. On those power plants, they plan to increase the operating voltage to perhaps forty-eight volts.
I don't know if I want to predict this or not, but it should be possible to connect two such vehicles in series to operate many standard kitchen resistance-heating appliances such as electric skillets or coffee makers. One could do this with twelve-volt cars, but it would take about eight of them.
I've baked a potato or two from Point A to Point B, but that's about as "kitchen friendly" as I want my vehicle to be, thanks!
