At 24 volts your past the point of diminishing returns. In fact you would blow up your battery and probably fry everthing in your car.
Even if the alternator in our cars could put out 150 amps and the max voltage output was regulated to 14v you would not fully charge that battery in cold weather. But you could run more accessories and not drop below 14v which would be nice.
