Do u think what I'm thinking 😂?

Exactly what I wanted to see tested! I have a hookup to my home via an inlet with this exact generator. Seems like I'll be able to do ~20A and charge if the power ever goes out. Thanks for the video!

It's a GREAT idea. Predator 5000 is 120 and you can throw it in your trunk. You could get a bigger one, but 240 is 5x more and I'm not sure if they will fit in your trunk.

For the Volt the default set up is 8 amp , you have to manually change it to 12 amp in the menu

I track my Tesla and it is hard to find chargering stations near many of the locations where we race. This will be great to add ot my trailer so I can top off my Tesla between driving sessions.

Don’t let people see it or your car will be the next anti-EV haters meme

It’s not the volts alone that set the time of charge for the car, it’s the available amps, watts, that set the speed of the charge. Max amps on 120 volts is 20 amps, 2400 watts max at the wall or generator outlet. Max amps, typical on 240 volts, 50 amp outlet is 12000 watts. Big difference.

Great video Guys!

I saw one here on You Tube where the guy bought another identical battery pack , mounted it on a trailer and wired it in such a way as it parallels the car's battery effectively doubling its range and then had an on board 15Kw generator to charge it up effectively making it a hybrid. It worked . I think he bypassed thr charging port when hooking the second battery in it. He even had the cooling system for the battery installed also.

Chevy Volt is love. It should be fine pulling 240v 16-ish Amps

This is the most hilarious video I have watched on youtube.

That definitely will stress and destroy the batteries. That's why the car OS blocks the car from being operated while it's charging.

Find the size generator that will fully charge your car on one tank of fuel.

Thank you for this test, 9-10 hours for a full charge is a long time. I was wanting to know this information for evacuating during a hurricane. Was considering loading up some propane tanks and the generator but by the time I get the car charge Ill be in the middle of the storm.

In theory you should have a day or two or 3 warning .. so charge up your car to 100% before you lose power and then use the generator from there.

PHEV is much better, a guy on here bought a $220 1500W inverter, installed it in back area of 2024 Wrangler, and was able to run his fridge, TV and a lot of lights in his house. He could run a coffee maker in his Jeep while his TV monitor and Apple TV WERE ON! $220! So it could be used for camping, or at home if the power was out. Jeep to the rescue. With factory front and rear lockers, and a 100 to 1 crawl ratio, and 2000 lbs. lighter, will easily out-climb a CyberTruck.

Personally I would go for the small inverter & only use enough to get me to the nearest super charger. Emergency only gen 🌞 looking forward to my Cyber truck🌞

cybertruck will need about 2x more electricity to cover same distance compared to model 3 it looks like. Larger generator recommended.

thanks for the video, this is great video, however you can save all this hassle of so many hours of charging an EV can be saved buy owning a gasoline car. in 15 minutes you can drive to the a Gas station fill up your tank and go back home and do much more… EV’s aren’t ready yet.

This is great!! Where did you get the “plug” that runs from the gen to mobile connector? Link pls? Tia

How long does a gallon of gas cost with the smaller unit.

I have a question. If a tesla is dead and stranded on the side of road and needs charge. How much time will i have to wait until i at least get 15-20miles of driving with the little generator? And also same question with the big generator? Your knowledge will really help me out.

@JD-mq8ej

He showed it in the video. The Tesla was charging at 18 miles per hour. Meaning it was recouping 18miles worth of charge per hour it's on the charger on the big one (14 on the small one). So for 20 miles. An hour to an hour and a half.

So, no jumpers needed?

What charger do you have that doesn't care you're not grounded?

About how many gallons of gas do you need to charge a tesla?

How much does a 5 gallon gas can cost?

What is the difference cost between generator and grid?

@Aircam73

Жыл бұрын

Grid will usually be much cheaper. Around TX we get around12 to 14 cents a kWh so to charge the car from zero to full would be around $10 to $12. To charge the car from a generator from 0 to 300 miles would take around 15 hours and go through two tanks of gas or around 14 gallons of fuel. To fill it up with the generator at $2.50 a gallon gas would be around $35. This would give Tesla around 21 mpg when charging off the Generator. Not bad but charging from the generator would be for non normal situations like when the grid is down or if you are out camping where no electricity was available.

How long will it take to charge with a champion 7500 watt inverter generator? i'm assuming 40 miles per hour?

@dylanmanka8795

Well the energy has to come from a PURE Sine Wave inverter/generator. An unwritten rule is 80% max capacity for generators for surges/other. Really for peak efficiency, most gas generators are capped to 50% max efficiency. At -about 3 miles/KWH after efficiency losses converting the power through the charger. That gives you about 10 miles of charge per hour. This truly is a last resort. If a Tesla Battery pack is 80KWH, expect about a 24+ hour charge time minimum.

Why do you need an inverter generator? Why couldn’t I use my 30kw whole house generator to charge it?

how about 1 inverter of 2000w , plus lifepo4 24v 200ah in the trunk? That is 4KWh++ of emergency charging

No because this info would not be disclosed….

Im no expert on the subject so please don't laugh at me but couldn't you install a belt driven generator on your car off the axle or something and charge on the go just asking

For that price and weight, I will just get a RAM range extender truck.

If going on a road trip, why not RENT a 50KW diesel genset on a trailer to just pull behind you?

Of course it will!!!! It's not against the laws of physics!!!! But it takes either GASOLINE or DIESEL FUEL to RUN the generator, depending on what sort of generator you are using!!!! Can you dig that!!!!!!????

This electric shit is stupid. You buy an electric vehicle because of emissions but run a gas generator to charge it. Seems legit and intelligent at the same time.

What's the inverter you need

0:38 i think you completely contradicted yourself there

Chevy Bolt EV keeps its cost low by having slower-charging circuitry than its more expensive competition. You basically compared the fastest charging EV with the slowest charging EV on the market.

What happens when you run out of gas for your generators?? If you say go to the gas station to fill up fuel cans just do the same for gas powered vehicle

@hi9580

Petrol has much higher energy density than batteries even after inefficiencies you travel significantly further with backup fuel tank than carrying extra batteries.

So at 18 mph. In ten hours you would have 180 miles available. Wouldn’t that need about ten gallons of gas for that larger generator? Or you could put 10 gallons into a Toyota Camry and go approximately 300 miles in no more than 10 minutes….. I do like this video though. Thank you.

couldnt you just buy an inverter and plug that into the generator?

and they went to ban those too :\

We'd like to get an EV in the near future, but this is why I'm still going to keep a gas vehicle, too. Rather than burning fuel to charge, I can just hop in a gas vehicle and use it if needed.

just put the gas in the car.....oooooohhhhhhh

Why in God sake battery are being called "generator" these days??? It's so deceptive.

This wouldnt work if you had to preheat the battery first on the side of the road miles away from anyone in freezing temps you would die but whi would carry a gas generator in their Ev their too efficient 😂

u need a 30KW 72 amp @ 220V, then convert that to 440V 30 amps, your load can't exceed 80%, then u will see it will charge tesla in less than 1 hour.
