There’s also this Ukrainian report on the matter but it’s in Ukrainian, so I’m sharing the Mastodon post in English.

    Also, once you’re close to the front line, where are you going to charge this thing? There’s definitely no fast chargers, and if you do find a house with a working 220v outlet you’re a sitting duck for the next 8 hours or so.

    Ukrainians have been using electric bikes and scooters successfully, but a whole EV is another kettle of fish.

      8 hours

      More like 3 days. A Tesla 3 standard range takes 10 hours on 240V @15A

      Cybertrucks have big batteries

      Conceivably they could macgyver together a diesel generator/transformer combo unit into an electrical cable that can charge a tesla?

      Maybe?

      I used to have a survival/backup battery/transformer combo that could be charged from portable solar panels or a wall outlet, and while I have no idea of their availability or price in Russia and Ukraine, I know there diesel generator/transformer/battery combo units or sets.

      Recharging a Tesla off of solar would require basically a football field sized solar panel array though rofl, a very static and fragile target
