Look carefully at the above picture and you will see that the electric car is being supplied with electricity generated by a 'diesel' (fossil fuel burning ) generator. To be honest, the charging unit in the photograph has been designed to recharge electric vehicles in the middle of the Australian bush.

Let's hope the use of diesel gensets to charge EVs will not be a common occurrence. However, if other equally challenging environments for EV charging follow suit, will we be in danger of drifting into the 'greenwashing' category? Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

Electric Mini Digger - Zero Emissions?

The electric 'zero emissions' mini digger - what a fantastic concept!

However, I am somewhat confused by the fact that this recently developed mini digger with zero emissions was recharged by an onsite diesel generator. I would greatly appreciate constructive comments on this observation especially if I am missing something or you believe that this is not true reflection of zero emissions.

I completely agree with the need for more zero carbon emission innovations but we need to be sure that they are 100% green.
