No they don't. In fact higher output at lower RPMs is one of the main
reasons that alternators replaced generators. The other being lighter
weight.

However, a permanent-magnet generator will charge a completely dead
battery. An alternator will not.

I don't think operating RPM is a big issue; as the top speed of a
horse and buggy is not that great. simply gear the alternator to be
running at its optimal RPM at "cruising speed."
