I wonder if a person with a diesel generator could make some side cash by charging cars.

It’s hard to believe that in the very near future, fossil fuel cars will not be permitted to be sold at least according to the powers that be.

” ... BTW its not a good idea to store a battery in a freezer.”

A battery dies in the summer heat, it falls over in the winter cold.
