Diesel Generator Powering Electric Car Charger

What s powering the electric car charging station.

Diesel generator powering electric car charger.

Smoke and mirrors. Ones that carry 240 000v. A gas powered van towing a diesel generator charging an electric car. Alten dc generators are the direct solution for backing up 12 24 or 48 volt battery systems.

The fossil fueled electric car it s becoming a joke all around the world the ev in australia powered by dirty diesel. Most ev s in australia are running on fossil fuel the generators are just hidden behind longer extension cords. Shared on facebook more than 74 000 times since aug. The future is stupid reads the text above the photo.

Constant speed diesel generator feeding power to electric hub motors very efficient. 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. 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.

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. Back in september we bought a generac gp2200i unit and tried to charge up our tesla. It s a diesel powered electric car point.

Now include the energy for electric stations maintenance and repair. A diesel generator is about 40 efficient so where is the beef. 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. The last time we attempted to charge an electric car using a gas powered generator it didn t go brilliantly.

11 the image. 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.
