LOL, Rudy's is pretty good but where are you at in Texas and where else have you gone?
Central Texas has the best BBQ joints. I spent a lot of time between Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. I miss travelling there.
I am of Danish descent so forgive me but as a people, ya'll aren't all that funny.TRUE STORY!! Oh i seen this so many times
And here is Summer version..
Those things actually happen all time here lol..
One gallon diesel for 300 mile charge. I don't get the joke.

Bullshit, electric motors and batteries aren't that efficient. There's no way in hell that generator is generating 100 kwh on a gallon of diesel. It would take closer to 10 gallons as the typical diesel generator produces a 1 KWH per .4 liters or .105669 gallons. So your tesla is getting you about 30 mpg.

p.s. That might be slightly wrong since they typically only charge with about 50kwh even though their capacity can be up to 100kwh. So at best you're getting 60 mpg...
The actual article. Technology from over two years ago using off-the-shelf components, it seems.
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.

No, it's not really 300 miles on a gallon of fuel with that setup.
Yeah according to the article, they got right around the middle of my two estimates, so around 45 mpg. That was with mental math I didn't actually do the conversions on a calulator from their results in liters and km.The actual article.

The important takeaway from the article was that it was ONLY a stop gap to the lack of infrastructure needed to have EV use over long desolate distances. It is NOT part of the overall reduction of emissions using widespread EV infrastructure.
And it doesn’t take into account the horribly, environmentally detrimental nature of the EV batteries themselves...
