car charging can actually supply 1.5 kW to the outside, since the
alternators get designed for about -LRB--LCB- everything the
car needs -RCB- + -LCB- what could possibly be added -RCB--RRB- * 1.3; so that usually leaves no more than 50 % of the actual
alternator power, usually less, to be gotten from the
car, while running at the engine speed at which the
alternator is at optimum.
