It will take this energy from your battery instead of your gas, so be sure to have a good battery. And you don't need to be an electrical engineer to install them. The circuits are not complicated (reading instructions SOMETIMES helps).
Oh by the way, 6 of one half dozen of the other, your battery doesn't just make voltage, its supplied from the alt. and that gets its energy from the crank and the rod to the piston taking power and gas milage. It would probably be more efficient but still pull power and gas milage from the motor
