I saw a picture the other day of an electric super charger connected to a diesel
generator.* It was probably a gag, but who knows?* These electronazis never seem
to say just where the electricity comes from.

That picture might be from Australia, where the roads in the outback are long, the
small towns along them are very isolated, and their electricity comes from diesel
generators. The diesel powered charging stations are very efficient, and electric
cars using them use no more fuel than a comparable gas car or diesel car. Of
course, the initial 100-300 miles of the trip is from the car's battery (charged
from the grid), so the overall trip might use very little diesel.
