They dragged around solar panels and a wind turbine... but also a gas generator pulled by one of the two Ford F-350 diesel support vehicles which apparently they only used when it was necessary.

This is hilarious. I've never yet owned an EV, but by this logic I've only ever driven internal-combustion engines "when it was necessary". lol
