Gasoline based generator + EV uses less gasoline than an ... - Reddit
2024年4月17日 · However, something like a 6.5 kW 240V diesel generator uses around 0.5 gallons per hour at 75% load, which is roughly 4.5kW, or 18A @ 240V L2, so triple the charge rate of the gas generator with L1 charging, which puts you more in the range of 15 miles of range gained per hour, or roughly 30 MPG equivalent.
Ah yes, the big diesel generator that is parked right behind
Contacted by AFP, a spokesperson for Blink, the company listed on the EV charging station, said: "The charging station is not powered by the diesel generator or connected to it. "To our knowledge, the generator is for emergency lighting and other amenities for the parking lot only and is designed for backup power for the terminal.
Electric car charging point running on diesel generators
2022年11月22日 · Its obviously ironic, but fact of the matter is most electric charging stations are still powered with fossil fuels. The charge generated from the diesel used by that generator probably creates more miles of travel than that same amount of diesel would if it was used in vehicles instead.
Largest EV Charging Station In World Powered By Diesel-Powered …
2023年9月30日 · Charging stations use diesel generators for 1 of 2 things, first is during holidays when increased demand. The other is temporary while putting up new stations or maintenance. Having the generators as backup running 1% of the time isn't the end of the world and they go away with time.
A diesel generator charging two electric cars - Reddit
2021年7月7日 · One of the midrange Model S batteries is 85kWh, which gives about 250-275 miles of range - I'll call it about 263 miles on average. The generator looks like it could be a 125 kW generator, citing up to 37 hours of runtime on 205 gallons of diesel. 125 kW * 37 hours = 4625 kWh of output 4625 kWh / 85 kWh per car ~= 54.4 cars charged
What would be the MPG of an electric vehicle if you charged it
In another thread about the popular "Tesla charger with a diesel generator" that made social media rounds last week, another user did some math and figured that with X generator and a Supercharger, charging 4 vehicles at the same time to max the capacity of the generator minus conversion and charging losses it still comes out to around 47 MPG.
Your thoughts: Tesla Y pulling a generator for recharging: MPG
2024年3月28日 · Converting to 'Merica units, they got about 55mpg from the diesel generator charging a Model S. So you can use that as a starting point-- it's not quite the same as your question because the generator was stationary, not towed, but it does give an idea of what the fuel economy of a generator-charged Tesla is like by itself.
[Request] Is it more or less efficient to charge an electric car using ...
2021年8月11日 · Now charging a electric car with a generator also has to account for how efficient the charging circuitry is and how efficiently the motor can turn that into output at the wheels. The motor in a model 3 is ~90% efficient The 18650 lithium-ion cells are close to 100% efficient And the overall efficiency is close to 80% (according to some us ...
Why don't electric cars have a small built in gas powered …
> small cooler sized gas powered generator could be added to a car to provide charging in emergency situations A car battery typically gets charges using 3 types of chragers 110v standard outlet charger that adds 3 miles per hour of charging. 220v outlet that adds around 44 miles per hour. DC fast charging (not possible with your generator)
Electric car charging point running on diesel generators
Diesel-electric allows the diesel to run at its ideal RPM, where it generates power most efficiently. Couple this with an electric motor and you have a very efficient locomotive. About the most inefficient thing is a small gas engine in a car, idling at stop lights and otherwise having to run at inefficient RPMs
