It's true that if you own a gasoline or diesel generator that you might be able to recharge your car as long as it takes 110 volts and not 220 volts in it's charge cord. But, if your power goes off in big storms and you don't have a generator or solar or wind then your car isn't going to move.
The other problem that people with electric vehicles are having in freezing areas is that they won't charge up properly and it is affects the life of the batteries in your vehicles too.
Last Summer when I went to Mt. Shasta there were people we met who owned a Rivian Truck and these people wanted to go into the back country so they bought a gasoline generator so they wouldn't be stuck in the back country without power for their electric truck. Now, this makes a lot of sense to me as long as you can actually get your generator to start to keep power in your Rivian Truck in the back country.
However, for example, I have a Yamaha 2200 which is a smaller generator that could be the size you might want for charging your Rivian. It isn't cheap because i bought it for about 1500 dollars at a motorcycle dealership. But, here's the thing. I can get this generator serviced by the service department in the Motorcycle shop and when I took it in this fall they told me to start it once every two weeks. So, if people don't know this kind of thing about say a Yamaha 2200 or whatever generator that they buy because if you don't start it every two weeks or so it won't start because the carburetor jets will clog because they are so small on a generator then you could be out in your Rivian with no way to charge it in the boonies.
It likely isn't practical unless you are towing a trailer or something to take a generator in an electric Car but if you are going to go past California, Oregon or Washington where there are plenty of recharging stations now, then you are either going to want a hybrid car or truck or you are going to want a little trailer that you rent or buy from maybe Uhaul or something so you don't get stuck somewhere without any place to charge your electric Car.
So, even on this level the wisdom of owning a truck that is electric so you can haul a generator to charge it makes a lot of sense to me as someone who loves the back woods wilderness areas a lot, especially around Mt. Shasta and throughout the High Sierra Mountain range that go up to over 14,000 feet in California.
However, for me personally I likely will not ever own a hybrid or All electric Vehicle until I'm forced to by circumstance here in California.
Why is this?
If you are technically knowledgeable about electricity then you know that generators on Hybrids and the electric motors that run electric vehicles all give off electrical radiation which might have bad effects on a human body.
If you are old enough before they had shielded spark plug wires on cars and trucks often you could hear the electricity affecting the radio. Also, every time you went under a power line with your radio on it would go completely static and hurt your ears. Since then ways to shield people from the bad sounds of this electrical radiation have been found or used to protect your ears from the static. However, that "Static" still exists it is just hidden from you now by various technologies.
When in most cars all you have is a 12 volt battery that usually isn't enough to cause harm to most human beings. However, when you get 25 horsepower or more motors on every wheel of a vehicle or you generate that through a hybrid or both then it's sort of like taping a cell phone to your forehead and heart and other parts of your body every time you run a hybrid or all electric vehicle.
So, the people I worry about the most are not all the old folks who are getting electric vehicles supposedly to help their kids pay less for gas. No.
I worry about what 20 years or more of growing up traveling around your whole life in a hybrid or an all electric vehicle is going to do to them. What kinds of neurological or muscular diseases will be created by this much exposure to electrical radiation? I don't have the answer to this question just like I don't have the answer to the question of "Why do some people carry their smartphones or cell phones over their hearts?"
To me, carrying your smartphone or cell phone over your heart is ONLY a way to die sooner sort of comparable to smoking cigarettes.
Because your heart is being damaged every time you put your smartphone or cell phone over your heart and leave it there. Sort of like constantly smoking cigarettes it isn't healthy long term and is a slow form of suicide that likely is different for every person.
For me, as I think about it now I think the most likely thing that will happen from exposure to this much electrical radiation is human sterilization coming from dna exposure to this type of Electrical Radiation ongoing. So, it is much more likely for kids who spend 20 years or more growing up from babies to adulthood in electric or hybrid vehicles to not be able to have children. This is what I presently think as a precognitive intuitive and someone who was raised by my father to be an electrician as one of my trades.
I thought of one alternative in Traveling beyond California, Oregon and Washington with an all electric car.
If you had a roof rack to store your Generator the size of a Yamaha 2200 like mine this could work in charging your car in emergencies.
However, the main problem I can see with this is if you put something this valuable on a roof rack on your car someone might also steal it because you cannot hide it away from the sight of people in bigger cities and generators are very valuable at times like these right now all over the U.S. in the present weather we are getting this winter and spring.
A fireplace or wood stove and a generator are three of your best friends to survive the kinds of weather we are having in most all of the states of the U.S. right now.
