It's a 9500 watt generator, I'm guessing by the name, so maybe it could but not at full L2 capacity? Theoretically it should work I imagine.

 

The charge cable will make sure the ground is active. Does your generator have a ground? I used a smaller 120 v generator and needed to use a ground plug in another 120 v receptacle to make it work.

 

Has anyone had any success charging from a generator? I'm thinking of testing my 120V generator to charge my blazer. I bought an adapter to go from the 30A outlet, to the four prong 50A plug on my GM charger.

 

You say your generator is 120v but the 4-prong plug on the charger requires 240v at 32 amps. (So about 7700 watts) The charge cord that comes with the car does not support lower charge currents at 240v.

 

Also one needs a ground. The portable charger will show amber with open ground. So i see on videos with people charging their cars with Ecoflow or other similar battery backup use a dummy ground plug. Basically not letting the the ground float w.r.t. the neutral. there are plenty of such videos on youtube.

 

Keep in mind that the owners manual specifically states not to charge with a portable generator, and only use utility grade power... Not that it won't work, but if it did cause a problem, a warranty claim might not be covered.

 

Generator has to be Inverter for a clean sine wave.

We use our generators all the time for several years now. We plan on mounting the GenMax generator on the Blazers hitch, covered for when we travel. 240V is ideal but 115V works ok too. Just like home and maybe even cleaner power. Peace of mind for we won't get stuck anyplace. Redneck Hybrid.

BTW: One gallon of gas puts over a 100 mile charge on the car:

 

Lol red neck hybrid. Thank you for the education. Having that option for long trips is cool.

My kids recently drove ~1800 miles in their Tesla. They found that driving all night and taking naps while charging made the trip fast-ish by not needing to stay in a hotel. My son in law can sleep anywhere so that helped.

 

We have a KIA EV6 and the only anxiety we have is broken chargers at the next stop and if will we have enough charge if we have to make it to the next charger stop if not broken either..

So when we travel we'll have the Generator on a easy on/off trailer-hitch-receiver kinda mount covered of course with a YETI cooler cover to throw off the EV haters.
I'm all done with that debate.

240 volt charges at 15 AMPs a little over twice as fast as a 115V generator at 15 AMPs. This is on the EV6 other vehicles may take longer of course, maybe faster.

A real eye opener how energy efficient EVs are.
Its cheaper to charge with a generator that buying electricity, but takes a lot longer of course. Impractically longer so it's just a standby back-up kinda thing.

The GenMax 240V 7200 Watt generator is the same footprint as the 30 Amp Harbor Freight 3500 115V generator. GenMax louder, heavier and about twice the price.
Just a back-up.

Does anybody use the foldable Solar panel + "battery generator" (like ecoflow) combo ? I know that costco has deals on these sometimes. a 4 solar panel can generate 1600W when facing the sun directly. And the Ecoflow can be charged at fast chargers i believe.

 

Ya might search YouTube. Our home is solar/powerbank powered as is our Toy Hauler RV and the EV6 will accept the charge from them.

BTW: Our RV has the best-bang-for-the-buck Solar power/powerbank system for the price. Next biggest Solar system up was a $22.000 option.
Cheaper to bring a $500 Harbor Freight generator that we may have to run for an hour to top off the batteries in the evening if it was an overcast day.
