So do you think this is a huge part of charging EVs? With me charging my car at home I’m probably an edge case I guess the bulk of EV charging is diesel generators. I guess as it’s probably rare for someone to charge their vehicle at home or at a supercharger.

I get asked pretty regularly when I drive my car without a trailer with a diesel generator on how I get the electricity into it. Most people look at me pretty skeptically when I explain charging at home.

I went for a hike today then stopped at the grocery store on the way home. Saw a fellow Tesla driver (new looking Model 3). They were getting out of the car. I told them I also had a Tesla and asked why they didn't have a trailer with a diesel generator attached to their car. They said they just got rid of it last week and had a Tesla level 2 charger installed at home. I told them I also charge at home. We both nodded and processed the relative rarity of our situations.
