Absolutely, Cummings make a beautiful 1MW acoustically covered skid mount, i have commissioned many.
Easy peasy, great units, plug and play no remote radiators, pure magicHere's some outside Catagunya power station (Tasmania) in early 2016 being installed in a great hurry.
For everyone else not familiar, the round cover on top comes off and the exhaust pipe fits in there. Cables go in the hatch beside the door.
Fuel = normal diesel fuel, nothing special.
These have long since been removed by the way, it was a temporary installation only.

Indeed.Especially if that diesel genny is just there to back up a solar and battery system.
OMG at last, common ground.Indeed.
A point often missed is that it doesn't have to be perfect, it's not a case of 100% renewables or 100% fossil fuels to power cars, it's still a huge leap forward even if there's a bit of diesel power in the mix used to charge them when required.
It's not as though more than a tiny portion of car travel is actually in the middle of nowhere.
Yep, never let "perfection" be the enemy of "good".Indeed.

That is the current stumbling block with everything ATM, it is my way or the highway mentality in climate change politics just about everything, when in reality this is what is holding everything up, there isn't a perfect right or a perfect wrong when you are trying to achieve the same goal.Yep, never let "perfection" be the enemy of "good".
From personal experience the colder the weather the better quality diesel is required, or external heating is required, which in itself cost more to run.That's if you can get one: https://www.bloombergquint.com/chin...-lifts-diesel-use-as-factories-buy-generators
Unlike the chip shortage, they've kept this particular shortage very quiet. Don't want to admit that AU has far more leverage reference coal than people realise
The way things are going between covid measures killing air companies and ,carbon taxes and ideology killing airfares: the bargain fares may not stay relevant for much longerThat's true when the 4 kids were young, we drove over East in a bitsashiti L300 1600cc, towing a campa van, top speed 80kl/hr.
Was booked going through a two horse town, in the middle of nowhere, at 2am on thur morning, doing 80kl/hr.lol
I said to the cop, mate you need a life. ?
But to put it in context, when a good mate got married in Adelaide in the mid 1980's and wanted me as best man, it cost me $950 return from Perth, I couldn't afford to pay for the wife to go.
My point is just that the solutions being developed are made for conditions vastly different from Australia: distances, temperatures etc. Nothing news but we will have to add a level of custom made adaptation which will add to costs.Indeed.

Our trip consisted of 4 people, a 17 year old 4 cyl hatchback, an old Morris and a motorbike.That's true when the 4 kids were young, we drove over East in a bitsashiti L300 1600cc, towing a campa van, top speed 80kl/hr.
Plenty of Tesla’s have crossed the Nullarbor, if you look on the plug share app all the charging locations are marked, with multiple people checking in on different dates, and writing reviews of the charging spots.Our trip consisted of 4 people, a 17 year old 4 cyl hatchback, an old Morris and a motorbike.
Think "Top Gear road trip" inspired.
Starting point = a fast food restaurant car park in suburban Melbourne.
Accommodation = caravan parks, roadhouses, pubs, cheap motels.
Lots of fun. Not much to do with EV's though although I wonder how easy it would be to do the same trip in an EV today? That is, if there's any gaps in charging infrastructure that would preclude it?
Well i have always done road trips, from Perth there isn't many options, so with the kids we did 16 nullabor trips, 6 great central road trips, Simpson desert trip, trips north of Alice, trips South of Alice.Our trip consisted of 4 people, a 17 year old 4 cyl hatchback, an old Morris and a motorbike.

Of all companies I'd have thought might get involved, that one's a definite surprise really. It's a completely different business and not a "natural" extension like oil / gas / electricity companies or even telecommunications or shipping.Michelin getting into hydrogen production.
They obviously think it is a growth opportunity, in a field where no one at present has a natural advantage.Of all companies I'd have thought might get involved, that one's a definite surprise really.

And an Australian company moving into the same space that @Dona Ferentes brought our attention to, so a lot of companies are looking into battery recycling.The issue of what to do with millions of dead Lithium Ion batteries has spurred a new industry out of Tesla itself.
