quote from an article about Chrysler getting into EV nad hybrids:

"
They also show that Chrysler and Fiat plan to develop "belt starter generator" stop-start systems. The technology uses a modified alternator that generates current, but also doubles as a starter to restart the engine when the vehicle is stationary. The modified alternator fits on the front of the engine in the same place as a traditional alternator. "

that same system was designed and patented by one of the Dodge brothers back in the teens or 20s! I always thought it was a good idea.
