@frhuy Still more efficient than burning the diesel in a car, and it's a stop-gap in a remote area until a solar+battery-based system can be installed, to enable a trip to be done with an EV.

Using diesel to charge EVs in the outback is greener than you think

A group of EV drivers test out using an EV charger powered by a diesel generator as a solution for outback roadhouses, and the results are promising.

@bhtooefr @frhuy i would put a battery pack on that genny lmao

it would probably increase efficiency of it, and batteries can easily be hooked to something else for added stored energy from wind or solar or whatever else
