The fossil fueled electric car it s becoming a joke all around the world the ev in australia powered by dirty diesel.
It s a diesel powered electric car point.
The photo was actually misinterpreted.
But what s the difference.
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.
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.
A dual motor high powered 2200kg barge apparently a very energy hungry vehicle.
Most ev s in australia are running on fossil fuel the generators are just hidden behind longer extension cords.
This is not a petrol generator but a mobile power bank for e cars the mobile electric vehicle charger consists of several lithium cells and can.
The last time we attempted to charge an electric car using a gas powered generator it didn t go brilliantly.
What s powering the electric car charging station.
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.
Back in september we bought a generac gp2200i unit and tried to charge up our tesla.
Contacted by newsmobile oamtc clarified that it s a mobile power bank for e cars which consists of several lithium cells and can deliver electricity for about twelve kilometers to an electric vehicle.
With charging stations still scarce in many areas range anxiety is a continual concern for electric car owners.
Ones that carry 240 000v.
So it looks like it would be far better to have a diesel electric car to drive the electric wheels directly rather than having the problems associated with lugging around a heavy load of batteries and stopping at one of those diesel powered charging stations and spend far more time waiting to get charged compared to refuelling the diesel electric powered car.
