Explanation:
Most automobiles use a reverse electric motor called an alternator to generate AC current that is rectified through diodes to produce DC current to operate the ignition, lights, servo-motors and accessories and to recharge the battery.
AC motors are usually cheaper to make and maintain, and are much more common where AC power is available.
