Is the alternator in the Changan Alsvin prone to overheating during long drives in Pakistan’s hot weather?

Cities like Multan, Sukkur, and Hyderabad regularly reach 45°C+. Could excessive heat contribute to alternator wear o r coil damage?

Yes. Pakistans ambient temperatures exceeding 45°C—especially in Multan, Sukkur, and Bahawalpur—can cause:

Alternator coil insulation degradation

Voltage regulator overheating

Reduced current output under load
Chinese-market cars are not always tropicalized for such conditions. The Alsvin lacks heat shielding o r airflow management around the alternator, making it vulnerable during long drives.
