There ought to be a hand crank version of this charge station. Or bicycle powered.
Get your fatass up there and pedal. Fat fuck.
for those who want to see the creators justification.
Might be even more efficient than a car running on diesel since the engine can run a optimal RPM all the time.
What do you mean by efficient? An average electric car needs about 8 hours to charge where a diesel car needs a few minutes to refill.
I'm pretty sure the diesel consumed to charge an electric car would get a diesel car to travel a much longer distance.
For that size generator absolutely.
There is probably a way to scale it where it is a wash.
Also those type of generators can be fueled by natural gas. Probably propane too, but I'm not sure on that.
What do you mean by efficient?
I mean getting most power on the road per diesel used. Diesel engines can be quite inefficient if not at the best RPM.

For a full charge, but you can apparently charge a Tesla from about 10% to 90% in an hour

I'm not sure about that. I've never seen any reliable numbers on the efficiency of generators or battery charging.

Are we talking about a specific electric car vs an average diesel one?

Check the diesel consumption of a generator that has to charge an average electric car for 8 hours.
