Well, first of all you need a "Larry Lesson" on how batteries charge

No, no! *Everyone knows a boat battery can be charged in 3 minutes if you
buy a big enough alternator!
Don't let logic, battery chemistry and me upset it.
In practice high output alternators make a big difference getting up
to about 80% charge. That can be very, very useful. It may be that
you have some logic and battery chemistry in your text books but I
live on my boat and go voyaging a bit. High output alternators are a
good thing.
Bummer about the Smart Car. AFIK, they aren't importing the diesel
version because in CA you can't buy diesel cars w/less than 7k miles
on them. As they say the road to hell is paved with good
intentions... But, what you really want is a diesel plug in
hybrid...
