Re: DIY Tesla Mobile Solar EV Charger
in a later video he addresses some of the "hate" don't mean you, and he says there is an alternate design where he carries the panels horizontally rather than vertically
this is essentially one man's project, and a prototype at that, so I think we should all allow him some leeway, he also talks about his special circumstances where he basically parks in a dirt lot and can lay those things out with nobody tampering with them, I totally get what he is doing he is saying hey this works for me and it may not work for you

I remember this guy sponsored his range extender. He connected 1/2 of VW Beetle as a trailer to his EV and ran it as a pusher . A bit heretic dont you think!!!Gregski wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 5:57 pm in a later video he addresses some of the "hate" don't mean you, and he says there is an alternate design where he carries the panels horizontally rather than vertically

Re: DIY Tesla Mobile Solar EV Charger
heyja, so thats my attempt to do some portable solar charging. Works well even vile driving, up to 40-50. When folded, one on top is always working for part of the battery charging.
