What if I carried my 200lb, 7200W, 240V/30A generator in the truck bed. Taking that same 350 mile trip, and say a realistic distance is 250 miles per charge. Let's say I travel 200 miles and stop at an out of the way location to take a lunch break. Out of the way meaning generator noise doesn't offend anyone. How long will I need to recharge at 7200W before I can reliably make the last 150 miles?
With that generator you would probably take about 8 hours to get an extra 150 miles. Easier and MUCH CHEAPER to just pull into a CCS DC fast charger and charge for 15 or 20 minutes. Probably cost you 8 or 10 bucks. Not sure where you live so don’t know your infrastructure situation. But around here if you travel 300 miles (500 kilometres or so) you’ll probably have passed 50 CCS DC fast chargers. Easy to find.
