Charging electric cars on Club sites.

 Cars which use dual fuel are called hybrids. A proper EV does not use fossil fuel of any description either to propel the vehicle or to charge the EV's batteries. Cars with a small on-board petrol engine ( sometimes referred to as range extenders) are Hybrids.

Any links in evidence of that statement or is that merely your opinion?

I've been down that route on earlier discussions Kennine, ours is all electric but with the addition of a range extender, it could run without it, a different set up to consider. 

I've now been "informed" that my site bollard usage bit is wrong, the connectors for both the van and an EV/Hybrid can be split directly from the main 16 amp supply. Does that sound right? Over to you....

Ah.... I can get the arithmetic to work if the generation from the lawn mower engine is going on indefinitely (up to full charge I guess), and the movement of the vehicle is intermittent enough.

I also guess the pure electric vehicle can't be fussy about the electricity it draws from the grid. On a dull windless day like today there is not much going into the grid from solar and wind generation.  Hydro and nuclear are doing what they can, but coal and gas are making a major contribution. Pump storage is correctly held in reserve.  So quite a lot of the electricity going into any electric vehicle's charger this afternoon is fosil derived.

On Monday afternoon I'll look again when all the feasting festivities ar at a height.

Good luck with your searches.  I said on another thread that the supplies we use come from renewables, we pay for that bit, others pay for the fossil fuels. Our main supplier uses North American hydro-electrics, I presume the power gets sold on across the world, just like gas pipes reach far and wide?

Have a good Christmas one and all, the time has come to divert my energy to burning up some oven fuels....

Doubt we sell much renewable energy in The States

There's a few on a google search ET, but here's one by way of example......

K is right.....
