Emergency Charging

[jboy210]

It's a interesting topic. Kind of ironic isn't it that sometimes we still can't seem to get away from oil. ie using gas to charge an electric car Yes, yes I know you are talking about an emergency situation. It just caught my attention.

You can still use a windmill...

If you are talking about the "power wall", that might be next to useless since they are just 13 kWh peak. So if you have a 100KWh car, it wouldn't get much of a charge with just one power wall even if it were fully charged and not powering anything else in the home.

True enough but 13 kWh is 37 miles (at .350/mi). It would take 6.5 hours on a 2 kW portable generator to get that much. But that's enough to get me to 3 supercharger stations and thus enough to get me out of Dodge. It is expensive, of course, but then so are these cars we are tooling around in.

The voltage of the car generator is not so high. If you want such a high voltage, you can either tow a generator with the engine or use an inverter with your own generator.

Open the frunk. Remove the cover and access the 12 V battery. Hook an inverter to that. Connect the mobile charger with 120 V plug to the inverter and insert the other end in the charging port. Perpetual Motion!!!
