Footage of a diesel generator running electric-car chargers in the Australian Outback has sparked outrage, but there’s more to the story.
A video of the diesel generator running at an NRMA electric charging site in Erldunda in the Northern Territory was shared to Instagram on 27 October 2023, where it has since received 3.3 million views.
However, the motoring association behind the chargers insists it’s merely a “backup” solution for the remote solar-powered site.
