Is This a 'Diesel Car Charging Station' for Electric Cars?

Is this really a "diesel car charging station"? The electric car industry is much larger than a single photograph.

What's True
This photograph shows an electric car charging at a diesel generator in 2018.
What's False
This image does not depict a typical circumstance for electric vehicles. The photograph was taken in the Australian outback, not the United States, where gas stations are scarce (and electric charging stations are even scarcer). The picture documents a privately-funded project, not one backed by a major electric car company, and the diesel fuel used provided the equivalent of 42 MPG, not 5.6. By the time of this writing in 2021, the charging station (dubbed the "Chargepod") was running on biodiesel fuel.

Here's the original article on that diesel charging station.

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.

But its fun to bash stuff you don't understand!

Cell phones could never work! What if you were away from home and forgot to charge it? They never thought of that!

I understand the truth is somewhere in the middle. My California friend I just talked with last night recently bought a Chevy Bolt. His electric bill doubled. Yes, but, still cheaper than gas or diesel...maybe not with what fuel prices were 2 years ago...but then again they're having restricted power usage (he said their bedroom is 96°F!)...then again the car was $35K & "rides like a buck board" (his words)...and the battery costs how much & lasts how long?
Whatever blows your skirt.

That has nothing to do with the false meme you posted.

I'll be happy sending a box of tissues anyone needing them. I copied it from another tractor forum. Hopefully it may make people think, things aren't all they seem.
Buy an EV & be happy knowing you're getting 120 mpg equivalent and saving the planet.

Mercifully, less and less power is generated by dirty coal.

Well not exactly........

In 2021, China began building 33 gigawatts of coal-based power generation, according to the Helsinki-based Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). That is the most new coal-fired power capacity China has undertaken since 2016 and, says CREA, three times more than the rest of the world combined.Jun 28, 2022
