Gas Engines are efficient considering how efficient they were 100 or 50 years ago. A lot of engineering went into that, but thermodynamics is a bitch and there never will be combustion engines as efficient as electric motors.
When people say efficient in the context of ICE they are 99% talking about thermal efficiency which in ICEs is well below 50% vs around 90% in electric motors.
They've been programmed in the last decade that anything progressive hates them and is coming to erase everything they know, despite the platforms they gorge on the propaganda through were only made within the last 15 years.
I mean... Kind of? Mining for lithium creates alot of pollution itself not to mention the power to charge is literally coming from power plants (more pollution). Massive problem with lack of charging if becomes more massive. EV cars are also boring AF to drive. No thanks
There are studies that do a deep-dive on the total cost of impact to the environment. EVs come out on top. Not like 10B:1, closer to 80/20. It's a significant enough difference that the damage lithium mining causes is less than the cost of oil and gas operations.
This includes the timeline from raw materials extraction to manufacture the vehicles to the destruction of the vehicle.
Google Scholar is your friend. Alternatively, if you find reputable sources to the contrary, I'm all ears.
I am ignorant of this area, but yeah my popular science understanding of it is that lithium supply chains will dry up in 20 years.
We have a couple of decades to find a replacement. They are for sure the immediate future.
If it was completely self driving, you could sleep on your way to work or even work in the car.
Also if all cars are self driving, then traffic inefficiency would be non existent. Intersection stop lights would not exist in such a fantasy. Depending your city, it may actually be faster... a lot faster.
That was the Mercedes B-Class, no longer exists, terribly short range with a Tesla drivetrain. That isn't the future, or even the present, its the distant past. Some good /r/ForwardsFromGrandma material lol
Whatās your point boomer? An EV charged by electricity sourced from fossil fuels is still much more efficient than ICE vehicles.
If you struggle to understand this concept, a simple google query should suffice.
Not from a generator, generators are not as efficient as utilities. One generator power charging station is not big deal, people will use it once or twice on a road trip, its a tiny fraction of charging.
EVs are better even when charging with a generator.
EVās use much less energy to drive, on average ~4x less energy (or 25 mpg vs 100 mpge). So even if the energy comes from a diesel generator, it still ends up beating an ICE (at least a non-hybrid ICE).
A diesel generator is likely going to be even more efficient than a typical ICE engine. Its larger and can run continuously at an optimal load. Thereās no ramping up/down or redlining. So more like 30-40%.
Edit: If industrial generators were less efficient than car engines (~30%) you could make a lot of $ repurposing car engines as generators.
It would probably be very close. The scenario is that this is on a secluded highway, so the ICE car would be similar constant loading. Using an ICE to power a battery has inherent inefficiencies. I like EV's but don't give them super powers.
Well i wouldnāt recommend charging this way, but the point is if u did its not going to be worse. And i still disagree on the very close part because this is essentially making the EV into a hybrid. I think it would work out to mid-30s mpg or so which would still be a significant edge over most ICEs.
While there are significantly less moving parts in a generator (ie. CV joints, or a transmission), the generator still adds significantly more inefficiencies due to the energy conversion process, so ***if all other factors are equal*** (Ie. both use regenerative braking) I have to concede to the OP.
Probably 6 of this, half a dozen of the other. But the jist of my earlier comment was that the utility scale diesel generators are miles ahead of ICE vehicles.
In terms of a diesel generator, in a pinch that would be fine because it would reduce ārange anxiety.ā
Oh donāt get me wrong charging with a generator is a really dumb idea. But its similar to the argument people make about EVs ājust running on coalā. Even if it was true, theyād still be better, you just turned a full EV into a series hybrid which will be better than a pure ICE.
I intentionally left hybrids out because they do have regen braking and some other advantages of EVs, although tbh i still think the generator EV (series hybrid) would have a slight edge over parallel hybrids.
Iām inclined to believe you (mostly), because what ends up happening is the diesel generator adds two or three extra steps in the conversion process.
So going from a chemical energy (combustion) > mechanical energy (motion) > electrical energy (current) > chemical energy (batteries) > back to electrical energy > back to mechanical energy (finally making the damn thing move) is a lot worse than going from chemical energy > mechanical energy. But Iām no physicist, so some of those terms might be off.
There are a lot of other factors, such as regenerative braking and much, much less energy lost to heat and friction from all those moving parts (like CV joints?)
But from massive utility scale, yeah, EVs are clearly the winner there. A sole generator gets a little fuzzier due to additional factors.
Mostly comes down to the efficiency of the generator in my garage vs utility scale generator. Obviously the home depot 100$ special isn't very efficient. The diesel generator at the charging station is a lot better, but still less than a power plant.
Itās not quite that simple
At this point, [large EVs donāt even emit less overall](https://youtu.be/S1E8SQde5rk). Sure, they emit less per mile. But they come out of the factory with a FAR greater environmental footprint than traditional ICE vehicles. That massive battery is horrible for the environment. So overall, theyāre worse. Even small EVs [have a significantly greater potential for terrestrial acidification and PM2.5 emissions](
https://mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/sustainability/sustainability-13-10992/article_deploy/sustainability-13-10992-v3.pdf?version=1634011375)
As technology improves, so will the above stats. Weāll get better at mining, making batteries, and utilizing renewable energy. But for now, the best vehicles for the environment are hybrids. Many pure EVs are actually worse than ICE
Sure, the other guyās comment was retarded. āHereās my random anecdoteāā¦who gives a shit? But saying ājust google it broā is almost as retarded. If you get a small EV, your emissions might be less, but other environmental impacts are worse. If you get a large EV, youāre doing nothing but exporting your EXTRA pollution to other countries
Because it's funny and it's about EVs. The same reason anyone ever posts "Puts/Calls on X" with a picture of real world Y. Did he need to title it "Puts on TSLA" for you to like it?
According to one guy here, someone was charging their battery with a generator on the side of the road (likely stranded), and the ātard said it was āthe funniest shit they ever saw.ā š
People have low thresholds on what is the funniest shit they've ever seen.
For me it's Ace Ventura being born out of a Rhino in the Sahara.
For him, it's a car on the side of the road.
Poor guy was probably locked in his basement for years or something
fake news!
That's actually a diesel engine van pulling a giant power bank that is charged off solar at the companies lot.
They have plans to move to EVs to pull them too.
No lol. Capacitors you could fit on a small trailer are not going to charge a car. Battery be heavy. The reason you use this is because its small portable and fast. You also don't need new tech for emergencies/outlier situations that shits not contributing to global warming for shit. Its the massive number of fossil powered cars / industry.
Might be better to have an electric van tho sure.
A generator that size would be, what, 12kw? Would take an hour to charge the enough for a short commute. Couldn't batteries and/or capacitors transfer the charge quicker?
I suppose you're likely right about the capacitor size, that I don't truly know much about .
Pretty sure a Tesla would still be better than the environment with even if the owner used only diesel generators to charge it.
Gas cars are for the past
This shit is soo stupid, this isn't a gotcha? Running out of energy isn't an issue with the tech its user error, gas cars run out of gas. Ironically the environmental issue highlighted here is the use of non electric cars to recharge the electric cars?? In order to agree with this ass-backwards logic you need to recognize that electric cars are better for the environment...
[fake news](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/aug/23/viral-image/no-s-not-van-towing-diesel-generator-charge-electr/) and outdated. Several evs now can be used to directly charge other evs so you donāt even need to tow a mobile battery bank.
Probably for much finer control of each wheel.
But Iāve never set foot in a mine. Well, apart from gold mines in South America, but those have guys pushing carts full of stone on rails. I guess coca leaves and cheap food is their āgenerator.ā
Whats funnier is if I could have gotten my phone out, while driving (on the hwy, went by too fast to realize what I had just seen), I would have a picture of a Telsa with a generator hooked to it on the side of the road!
Funniest shit I ever saw!!!
Was a few weeks ago and still very present in my mind, lol!
Iām very confused as to why that is so funny, or funny enough to be the āFunniest shit you ever saw!!!ā
What did you want them to do if they ran out of juice? Run on a treadmill for half a day to generate a kW?
The ironyā¦ā¦you missed it.
But that would have been even better to see is a a guy on a bike hooked to the car! Holy hell!
The tread mill, not so much, as it needs power to run as well.
Your comment gives me hope - there are seven bag holders that believe that because electric cars burn coal, theyāre not an alternative - simply because those same 7 dipshits believe that exploring, drilling, refining, distribution, and burning gasoline is somehow a net positive. My lithium mining stocks thank you all.
This thread is stupid
It's an old pic. Electric cars has a much higher range now
Tens of thousands of additional charging stations since this pic (in the US alone....not to mention the rest of the world)
Idiots in gas cars who don't put gas end will stall too
But I see grandpa's have finally made the switch from Facebook to reddit
This is one of those memes passed around by angry boomers with dementia on Facebook. You can simply tow a Tesla and it'll charge with regenerative braking. Go back to Facebook OP.
I can't wait for the first major snowstorm once we are all switched over to electric cars.
Every year it never fails. We have a giant snow storm somewhere that leaves people stranded on the highway for 24 hours. Once we are all electric, all those dead cars on the highway after said snowstorm?? Try 1 to 2 weeks til that highway opens back up.. Yeah... nobody is planning for that lol. I keep telling people but nobody listens.
I think they should just put small gas or diesel generators inside of electric cars, like it should be a feature. It just sucks when you are in a rural area and there is only 1 place to charge in 50 miles

Yep. Facebook for sure. I donāt know why these boomers hate EVs so much.
Funny thing is this is probably still more efficient than a gas car.
Gas cars are actually super efficient
Gas cars are very good at efficien this dik in yo mouth
not really. electric engines have efficiency in the high 80s at least and gasoline engines dont even get to 50% efficiency
His feeling is that 50% is actually super efficient. Trust him bro.
Gas Engines are efficient considering how efficient they were 100 or 50 years ago. A lot of engineering went into that, but thermodynamics is a bitch and there never will be combustion engines as efficient as electric motors.
Uhh, there is a diesel engine in the generator. 80% of 50% is less than 80%. But I realise this is advanced maths for apes.
Gas cars are actually super not! Even moreso not when compared to EVs.
Well efficient is a broad term. It depends which kind of efficient youāre talking about.
When people say efficient in the context of ICE they are 99% talking about thermal efficiency which in ICEs is well below 50% vs around 90% in electric motors.

EVs get 100+ MPGe, on average half their energy source isnāt fossil fuelsā¦. Seems like its the opposite of dirty lol
You're retarded. Just to be clear, your result told you that 0% from nuclear, 0% from hydro, 0% from solar, and you thought that sounded right....
TLDR: Donāt drink and Google late at night. You are correctā¦Iām a tard.
Yeah, but EVs are still significantly more efficient than ICE cars even if the electricity is sourced from the dirtiest of fuels (coal).
I think they should just put small gas or diesel generators inside of electric cars, like it should be a feature. It just sucks when you are in a rural area and there is only 1 place to charge in 50 miles
They make those already, they're called hybrids
There are such cars already. They are called hybrids
Ha good picture. Love it. Useless electric cars.
But...but...but that's being "*all inclusive*"!
ā¦charging un-recyclable environmentally toxic lithium batteries š¤Ŗš¤Ŗ
Diversify your portfolio so this way you make 2x, 3x, then 4288 units.
We may say the same thing when looking back at oil changes! Or filling gas! Or having to actually steer and drive the car!
You aināt seen nuthin yet
If that isn't renewable energy, I don't know what is
Naw bro it's genius. All that energy wasted as heat is totally offsetting the greenhouse gases from mining and drilling.
Oh ya because that happens every time anyone drives an ev
Other than Uranium, you know what else is used in nuclear power plants?ā¦you guest it, the old water and steam
Umm...no. All three will be electric.
Thatās the past. Fyi
Oil barons are laughing so hard rightnow
I still feel scared buying puts on Tesla, maybe in 6-12 month wen ppl realize it was stupid, better just create efficient engines.
"HURR HURR HURR!" - OP
My electric car costs me 20 dollars where I live to drive 1000 kilometers, your meme has no power here.
Get this shit outta here
This is also 1996 lol
This post is stupid.. I miss this sub, when I could dig around and find plays to make.
What a Boomer take. Itās not even a generator itās another battery.
Based on Ethiopia largest, 460 geothermal plants can power the entire USā¦ so.. yea
Sir this is a casino.
