I'm sure that they didn't.
There were plenty of other applications (marine, aircraft, heavy transport)
that needed more than the 16A or so a car generator could supply. Lucas and
CAV made a large range of this sort of thing.
It would have been quite easy to adapt one to a special purpose car.
I remember driving an army landrover that was 'fitted for radio' It could
run 4 army type tranceivers at an idle.
It had a dual (perhaps triple) circuit 80A alternator. It charged the
vehicle battery as well as two sets of paired 12V radio batteries. Made by
CAV
Was in 1964.
