It depends upon the accessories for an automobile.
1. car with just headlights, heater, wipers and etc. about 35-45 amps
2. car with AC added 65 amps
3. Newer computerized car with AC and etc 100 amps
4. car with all the above and a amplifier 140 amps (depending on the size of the amp)
5. Take note that a typical school bus with all the heaters and etc normally will be ok with an alternator from 100-150 amps.
