It's generally assumed that most of these units are simply more efficient and supply the amperages needed for advanced electronics at lower RPM points. They're also not generally thought to require any additional HP to provide that power. If you start playing with pulley diameters and alter the ratio vs. crankshaft RPM that of course would change.
