Generator efficiencies are much higher than when a combustion engine is used to propel a vehicle.

Power plant, yes, doubt that little gas generator is though.

[–] Dasus 1 points 3 months ago

Much higher? Yeah, might not be. But definitely still higher efficiency than when a human is controlling the output of a combustion engine to get it to be efficient at pushing loads. (ie driving a non-electric)

If you're running the generator at it's efficient output. If you're running at max load it gets murky on efficiency. You'd probably need an evse that can manually set a current limit to get the best efficiency

The Tesla model 3/Y can do that when charging from AC like this.

But is the Electric Motor efficient enough to get further away with the same amount of gas a combustiom engine would use?
