Can I rewind a 95 Mustang Alternator to charge a 144v Electric Car main battery?

I’ve seen alternators, such as a prestolite 12v 140 amp, rewound with thinner gauge wire and with more winds and used as a regenerative brake (energized while coasting to use the car’s forward motion to charge main battery pack) in electric vehicles.
