How many gallons of Diesel does the generator hold?

How many cars can the generator charge before it needs refueling?

How many gallons of gasoline are the fully charged electric cars not burning?

Compare the number of gallons of gasoline not being burned to the number of gallons of Diesel that are being burned.

DO THE MATH PEOPLE!!! 🙄

@calicuz Good questions, but the power generator isn't losing energy to air drag, steering / road friction, or a lossy transmission...and it's using a fuel which I believe has a higher energy density.

Exactly, those who dismiss things based on "feelings" rather than simple science should rethink what they are being told to think.

@calicuz My point was that there are several inputs to the mathematics of it.

But I'd assume that the point of using the solution in the photograph is that refilling diesel is cheaper than running heavy duty power lines to the charge station, for the anticipated need.

I'm sorry, I completely misunderstood you. I see where you're coming from. 🙂
