Charge from a portable battery

[mg4]

I fit in the group of people that cannot install their own charger. I own my house, but it's a part of a home owners association in the Netherlands in which my neighbors are afraid of EVs charging, catching on fire and burning them alive, what to say about media.

Also, running a cable is forbidden, both under ground or under those kable protectors you see at concerts.

So my only way to get my "free" solar electricity to my car is either long range wireless ? or what i just got an idea yesterday was to use a chinky 5-10 kw home battery. Basically put that and whatever else needed on some base with wheels. Because strangely enough, charging home batteries is seen differently than charging car batteries, no one seems to mind me charging a huge home battery up, wheeling it outside of my complex and charging my car there.

At some point i also question if this is a problem worth solving, but i am curious if anyone has any advice, experience or caution to share.

That sounds like an ingenious solution. I'm presuming you secure the battery so it cannot be stolen?

It is a shame that you aren't allowed to just plug in!

The downside is that you'll have probably around 10% losses from the extra conversions. But the battery could be used for other things as well.

My concern about doing this would be that the unit would be stolen if you leave it alone by the car.

One response might be to put the battery unit in the car with the window open a crack for the cable. But that might leave your car more vulnerable as well.

I suspect that wheeling the heavy battery all the time will get old very quickly.

Maybe the neighbours will see this nonsense and realise how stupid they are being!

That's completely bonkers.

Sounds like an expensive solution. Bjorn Nyland has used ECO Flow units to add a little extra when he has run the car battery out. Perhaps a a few of those would work, lighter to carry and you could be charging 1 (or more units) while the others are charging the car.

Charging, discharging and inverting an intermediate battery will introduce more than 10% losses, plus you'll be cycling (and degrading) two batteries, so your solar won't be free anymore.

Surely there are two solutions; my preferred would be to move house as I couldn't possibly live alongside people that stupid. The other is to ignore their 'rules' and charge your car normally whilst waiting for natural selection to take care of said morons.

I'd go along with the latter solution!!
