Get an inverter or the proper DC gear.  Then drive your plugin hybrid to a free charging station, hopefully a close one.  Either drive real slow on the way home or have a friend give you a tow, or use your AAA.  Once the juice is in the garage hook you car's battery pack into your rig and you're good to go.

Yes there is the upfront cost of the hybrid or electric car.

Also if you're rural, you could load a flatbed with a bunch of deepcycle marine or heavy equipment batteries install a few small windmills and gen packs then you'll be charging on your way into town to get groceries.

Both ideas are fool proof.  Plus you could charge your battery loaded flatbed at a charging station.  Call it an experimental vehicle.

If you disagree; do you have a better idear?

The electricity isn't free because you're still getting it from the plug you numpty, it's like these environmentalists who claim that sort of thing is wonderful despite it coming from YEP coal! Which shows you just how much they really give a fuck about their precious planet.

Your mining rig is on fire, yet you're very calm.

That all sounds very complicated. Why not just keep it plugged in where it is now, but mug a guy or two for the cash to pay your bill?

So you get free electricity by spending $20k on an electric car, or probably 3x that amount spent on a flatbed of batteries? (that will need replacing in less than three years).  This is one of most bone-headed ideas I've heard in a long time.  Wait, i take that back.  Buying a 20k car just to have a battery on wheels that, in your scheme, would require a tow every day once it got a full "free" charge.  

Oy vey.

And ruining that car in a VERY short amount of time.

I left out you could go to all the public schools and donate stationary bikes with gen packs. You could call it pedal for profit, its a win/win, the little chubbies profit from losing weight and you'd profit from the electricity.

You're thinking of it in the wrong way.  Open your mind, let go of logic and the facts of the physical world and you will see the greatness.

Yeah, but only if your neighbor's name is Rube Goldberg.

You cant?

Well if you implement my ideas as a business you sure could depreciate the equipment and maybe even get a $500million loan from barry's boondoggle energy projects.

Some people have no vision.  If you think of this from a government spending point of view its Nobel Prize worthy.

You guys are silly

Wind turbines installed on a truck don't make energy, they convert the fuel used to power the truck into electricity.  You're better off running a generator.  Or just installing the wind turbines on a hill.
