But where did the diesel fuel for the charging station come from and how
was it delivered?Â* My point for not being very supportive of electric
vehicles is the lack of acknowledgement of all the fossil fuels that
went into the mining, manufacturing, disposal, electrical generation,
etc., spent on these vehicles.Â* I think they're technologically terrific
but the complete story is never told.Â* Some day, just not today...

A friend sent me a link from Europe stating that charging station prices
would increase by 500% starting this past January 31.Â* Can anyone from
Europe chime in and say if that was real or fake?

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.
