Where would be the alternator connected to? The driving shaft? The wheel? In order to provide stopping force? And why would you want to send 200A current to the chassis?

If the alternator is connected directly to the drive shaft, I wonder what kind of load is on that shaft: you have the engine driving the shaft and then alternator applying the opposite force to it to provide stopping power. How long will the drive shaft sustain this abuse before it breaks?
