Can the car still run if the generator is broken?

Can the car still run if the generator is broken? The car can still run, but it will lead to insufficient power supply, posing a risk of the vehicle stalling at any time, and it may also damage the battery, reducing its service life. The methods for generator repair are: 1. Test the generator without disassembling it to determine if there is a fault; 2. Use a multimeter in voltage mode for testing; 3. When there is no ammeter on the car dashboard, use an external DC ammeter for testing. The function of the generator is: When the engine is running normally, it supplies power to all electrical equipment except the starter and simultaneously charges the battery. The generator is the main power source of the car, and its working principle is: When the external circuit energizes the excitation winding through the brushes, a magnetic field is generated, and the claw poles are magnetized into N and S poles.
