How much voltage does a 12 volt generator put out on car?

A 12-volt generator in a car typically puts out around 13.8 to 14.2 volts when the engine is running. This is higher than the nominal 12 volts to ensure that the battery is properly recharged. The voltage is regulated by the voltage regulator, which prevents the voltage from getting too high and damaging the electrical components in the car.
