Diesel Generator Powering Electric Car Charger

While the austrian roadside assistance association that owns the mobile charging station in the photo confirmed to afp it relies mostly on diesel vehicles to tow its batteries it said the generator is a lithium.

Diesel generator powering electric car charger.

The last time we attempted to charge an electric car using a gas powered generator it didn t go brilliantly. Calculate the cost of say a 300 kwhr battery allowing for losses it may charge 2 x 100 kwhr teslas in the same day a 60 kw inverter 50kw ev charger say 100kw of panels all the controls battery management system electrical work containers installation labour concrete cranes commissioning accommodation insect repellent sunblock. Could be applied to cars to give all wheel drive without having to lug around a massive fire hazard of a battery but since the government won t give any subsidies to the car manufacturers it will never happen. A diesel generator is about 40 efficient so where is the beef.

Back in september we bought a generac gp2200i unit and tried to charge up our tesla. Constant speed diesel generator feeding power to electric hub motors very efficient. The future is stupid reads the text above the photo. A photo shared at least 75 000 times on facebook allegedly shows a diesel van towing a petrol generator in order to charge an electric car.

But what s the difference. It s a diesel powered electric car point. What s powering the electric car charging station. Shared on facebook more than 74 000 times since aug.

Smoke and mirrors. Most ev s in australia are running on fossil fuel the generators are just hidden behind longer extension cords. Now include the energy for electric stations maintenance and repair. A gas powered van towing a diesel generator charging an electric car.

Available in gasoline diesel propane and natural gas models our battery charging dc generators can be found all over the world from the wind farms of the north sea to the mountains of chile. For instance the batteries could be relied upon solely in city environments or heavy traffic where pollution or noise is a concern or likely to have an impact on efficiency and then the generator could be used to top up the battery at convenient moments. Edwards and a group of fellow ev drivers gathered last week to test out whether powering an ev charger in this case a tritium veefil 50kw dc charger with diesel would be not only a reliable solution but whether the amount of diesel used is at least comparable to that of a diesel fuelled car. The fossil fueled electric car it s becoming a joke all around the world the ev in australia powered by dirty diesel.

Alten dc generators are the direct solution for backing up 12 24 or 48 volt battery systems. Ones that carry 240 000v.
