There aren't any perpetual motion machines.
However, it seems like many EV owners/proponents think they exist. Even if you buy solar panels, they and the batteries aren't free and the emissions required to produce them aren't clean or green either.
Whether it came from fossil fuel or hydro, it still isn't green. There are many fisherman out there that fight every dam because dams impact the environment in a negative way. Of course, wind and wave power does as well because you have to make the components to produce power.
It's more efficient to burn fossil fuel than to convert it to the green choices. You don't have to like it, but at the end of the day, you can't produce electricity without energy being lost.
But back to RVing, you can't easily RV with EVs unless you don't travel very far in a day. But even if you did, you'd still need some other fuel to power it.
