I can jump charge the 12V buffer batteries from another car, then invert to 110V L1 charger. So, jump charge 30 minutes and L1 10 minutes.

I have tested it with a rental car, with around 600W 12V jumper cable.

600 watts would be about 2 MPH.

I think we have reached the end of this conversation.

Yes, but enough to reach the next charging station.

k of medium length trip viability.

I will reevaluate the situation when all those EA stations are ready. But for now, my EV is mostly for local use, but occasional repositioning to ano ther city. During moving, i carry 2KW solar and 3 to 100 kWh (need time to build them) buffer batteries. For the rest of the time, they stay in a bu ilding feeding power back to the grid, and i am driving a 50 miles EV local ly. I just don't need to carry a big bomb (battery) all the time.

A tow rope wuld give a faster recharge (regenerative braking), and move you towards the destination at the same time.

It's difficult to ask someone to jump-charge my EV for more than 10 minutes . Yes, i tried.

It's even more difficult to ask someone to tow-charge my EV. Yes, i have a tow cable.

Yes, that's enough option. But it's cheaper to just rent an ICE and charge my EV overnight. It should get 20 to 30 miles overnight.

Why not keep a Honda/Hyundai generator in the boot? Then you aren't stuck with the grid or renting an ICE when you really need it.

Generator is heavy. Solar panels are bulky but lighter. They coil-up in 3 'x1.5' cylinder in around 100 pounds.

Call up a nearby repo man and ask what he would charge.

Really only need a tow to the top of a big hill. Then again for each hill. Coast down... tow up. It's that same little push that keeps 'perpetual motion machines' running. Heheheh...

If it could charge more than it uses, then you could drive to the top of each hill, and slowly gain back more than it takes for each one. Hahahah! But if we could do that...

All we would do to generate world power if lift a load up, let it generate on the fall, and lift it up again. Pure kinetic energy.

Shame it takes more to get you up there than you can glean out on the drops. Or we could have huge arrays of really big stones or lead or whatever weights pulling on cables, and then being reset after a certain drop height. Like a row of grandfather clocks. As they fall, the first in the array are being reset slowly.

Shame is power in equals power out... on a good day, so it would never be realized because it uses everything it makes!

Hey I know... we could use prison labor for the lift sequencing. Have Arnold (Conan) teach them how.

If a 100 Lb passenger is a problem, the thing is too weak to call a motor. Look at it as a percentage of the total car weight. Or add it to your weight and look. Not much difference at all. And so useful! Way more charge rate than solar would be.

Yes, on my way from Seattle to SF, over the hill near the OR/CA border. I miscalculated gravity. Got stuck in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, a n outdoor outlet in a gas station give me a few miles to go over the top. Gravity then gave me a push all the way into the CA charging station.

2 KW solar is not so weak. I can probably get more if necessary, but i have to match more 2KW inverter.

I read his mind. May be under the hood.

Solar cells don't work so well in the dark I hear.

Perhaps one of the new high efficiency ICE generators would save some weight? Just leave it running all the time, when driving, to top up your battery.

Should work...

Here's one with 2 kW output and runs in the dark. It's also is a lot small er and half the weight than your solar panels.

I'm really starting to think you are nuts to be doing this instead of just buying a hybrid.
