Norwegians agree – "Charging electric car with diesel generator"

Things don't always work out. Neither do lightning chargers for electric cars. And then some Norwegians have to use old diesel generators.

That's hardly the point. And then it stands still a lot. But it is therefore too early to completely part with the diesel generator.

At least if you ask Vegard Moller Johnsen. He works for Norwegian TV2 and recently had to find other ways to charge an electric car.

– The car is flat. Half an hour on the stupid support line. Nothing works. So what does it end up with? Yes, we have to charge the car with a diesel generator, it says.

This is written by Norwegian TV2 .

– It is experiences like this that make people skeptical of electric cars. When chargers don't work or you don't get lon. Then you as an electric car owner have a real problem. Luckily we had a generator.

That the mobile home he was to sleep in overnight was also parked live next to the generator. The question then is whether he even got a shut eye that night.

The "accident" with the electric car is partly what happens in the program "Vinni and Pekka become Norwegian champions". Here, you follow two friends who drive around Norway in everything but an electric car. Namely an old Lada.

Speaking of diesel generators, Boosted could tell in 2022 that a municipality here at home is charging up its otherwise electric garbage trucks with exactly the power that such a cousin can make.

– It would have been better to have the other chargers. Now they are on their way.

– And then we can send the diesel generators further into the system when we have them, said the boss at the time. Read more about it here .
