Not in any car built since the 1960s and not most of them.

Up until the 1930s cars were commonly equiped with Magneto ignition systems and they did not require a battery. Commonly these were hand crank start cars.

Into the 1960s cars were built with generators rather than alternators and some were self energising and would power the car once the engine spun up on a push start.
