Ladies and Gentleman I present to you my EREV:crazy:

I find Pennsylvania has quite a few charging deserts when towing.

If I need to go somewhere far I just simply load up the big inverter generator and 11kw portable charger.

Now if I would be close to running out of range I can put enough charge in her with the level 2 so I can make it to a DCFC.

Sure it's only 11kw rate but it has saved me a few times.

Anyone else take the nuclear option?

Noice. Gotta do what you gotta do. What kind of gas mileage are you getting? 😆

See everybody? EREVs are super practical. All you have to give up is the bed.

11kw is a good charge. Have you calculated your gas mileage? I've always wondered how efficient it is to charge using a generator.

A lot of people laugh at that, but don't think twice about carrying gas cans to fill up an ICE truck.

As our home electricity pricess keep climbing, ypu always have to re-calculate the cost to charge from generator. In sone parts of Massachsetts we pay 35 cent kWh delivered.

How about stopping at Costco and filling the bed with Duracell?
