Looks like I need to get the EVDL FAQ online and make sure it has something
about APUs. This topic comes up pretty close to monthly on this list.
Sorry to say CARB compliant stationary engines are still appreciably dirtier
than an automotive ICE. Fuel efficiency will also be lower. If you can't
get enough battery capacity into your EV to make the trip, you'll be cleaner
to drive a recent, well-maintained ICEV and save the EV for trips where it's
more suitable.
I acknowledge that some EV hobbyists are not concerned with the emissions
cleanliness issue, and have other reasons for their interest in EVs, so this
may not apply to you.
