It doesn't need to. All it needs to know is the aggregate current draw,
the total. That will be indicated by the voltage.
The voltage regulator actually doesn't need to actually know the current
period.
It just senses the system voltage and adjusts the current to the
alternator
rotor to maintain the target voltage of ~14V.
The PHuckers voltage clearly isnt maintained at just one voltage.
