I was hoping you would chime in
so the ForkenSwift uses 1200 watts.
is this a common consumation number?
is a Honda EU2000iA
2000 watts. Noise: 43/49 dB. Weight: 46 lbs.
9.6 hours on 1 gallon.
but it does cost over $1k
(im sure we could find a used one cheaper)
at least i have more info to stoke the fire with
1. What if i run out of power in an EV?
(can i plug in and continue driving?)
A: Yes. But only for intermittant driving as the batteries charge slowly.
2. What if i want to drive father than the range will allow?
(again, can i plug in and continue driving?)
A: Yes. But only for intermittant driving as the batteries charge slowly.
The best thing you can do is if you run out of juice is to find a rest stop.
Plug your generator into your vehicle and take a break.
After a while, get back in and continue on your way.
The time spent waiting is only determined by how fast your batteries charge.
Which of course opens the floor to another question.
Quick-charge charger/batteries?
12 min charging time (naturally made for the EV1)
