The diesels are still running to charge the batteries, so this too consumes fuel. I think the only way to consume no fuel is to have a full battery charge and not move--I do this some when loitering on station but it is no good for transiting obviously.
Allowing you to recharge at a complete stop without consuming fuel would amount to a free lunch. |
Maybe I got too "cute" with my wording and made it confusing. If I have a full battery charge (100%) and don't move, no (very little) energy is needed. Anything else should be consuming fuel. So sometimes when on station and waiting I'll sit in one spot rather than just burn fuel (and if the batteries are topped off that should not be consuming fuel). Sorry for any confusion stemming from my post.
