All the ones I’ve seen had second alternator very low on passenger side. I would guess (not sure though) that they use the same kit (haven’t looked that closely). Being a FWD van, the front of the engine limits it to passenger side, and behind the engine down low there is no room. So unless someone comes up with a way to mount it up high, it’s likely the same 280-Amp alternator kit (or its equivalent).
Longer-term it’d be great if RAM offers a second OEM alternator option like Ford started to do for Transit and E-Series. I’d expect a better design and much much lower cost. Or RAM could add the more powerful 48V alternator (motor/generator) as part of mild hybrid option, except with provisions to charge house batteries much faster. I think RAM calls their mild hybrid system eTorque.
