I get the over 300c to fire up our TEG thermalelectric boiler by burning wood pellets, then through a grid tie inverter we put the energy from the wood pellets into our Nissan LEAF to the tune of 2 free round trips to town per day. Meanwhile the heat produced makes hot showers and goes I to our home hydronic heating loop.
Total system efficiency is near 100%
