> I've watched and laughed at videos of people trying to charge an electric vehicle (EV) with various portable devices like a gas generator. It's a hilarious and wildly inefficient solution. A generator is more efficient than a gasoline / diesel engine because it can run at optimal speed all the time. Also: > This $16 ground-neutral bonding plug. It tricks the mobile connector into thinking the outlet is grounded, thus allowing it to charge the car. It's all fun and games until someone gets 220V through their heart and dies.
