GPS and Intercoms should have surge protection circuits, but typically these only work to 18V.

I measured the voltage wityh a digital voltmeter, so it was only a sample, I expect the peak to have been higher.
The Enfield uses a 200 watt three phase alternator which is wired directly to an electronic charger/voltage regulator. Everthing runs off DC/battery. There is a separate coil on the stator which is used to trigger the ignition circuit.
