@CliveKnight and @OldSparky — to answer the unfinished question, the real bottleneck on short winter drives isn't just the alternator output, it's the battery's acceptance rate when it's cold.

Good point from @LDVWanderer — worth adding that on a Transit Custom specifically, the alternator load can be a real consideration.

Welcome aboard, @MistyTinker! Always good to see lurkers finally jump in—you'll bring a fresh perspective. A hybrid setup's a brilliant choice for the UK climate too.
