“With a nice fat electric eel in your tank, you can drive your Tesla forever”

Sorry. Amps needed.

Sorry. Amps needed.

Might need a few of them in parallel, also they are producing electric even while you are sleeping!

OK, so it is not up to supercharger numbers.
Maybe with better food? Better output?
And this guy is much bigger, might be a full kW!

And if it doesn’t work out; eel pie.
Or maybe jellied eels?

An electric eel has multiple cells along its body that create a change in potential of over 500 volts. The typical current produced in an electric eel attack is around 1 amp.

“Sorry. Amps needed.”

And it has to last more than a few milliseconds.

Yep, it’s the amps that kill you. A Taser puts out 300,000 volts but the current (amps) is very small by design.
