Electric Vehicles & Charging
Three Hollow vehicles run on a battery instead of gas: the Hollow Volt Bike, the Hollow Razorback and the Hollow Wasp. They all charge at a Hollow Charging Station wired to your power grid.
How it works
- Learn the Hollow Charging Station at Vehicle Adventures 40 (with the Volt Bike) and build it at a workbench.
- Place it and wire it to your power like a light. It idles on almost nothing and draws 100 W while charging.
- Park with the vehicle's charge port close to the station and nearly still: Volt Bike about 3 m (the middle of the frame), Razorback about 3.5 m (the socket above the left rear wheel), Wasp about 4 m.
- A cable runs across, the station pulses amber and its ring fills; solid green = full.
- Empty to full: Wasp about 10 game minutes, Razorback about 25, Volt Bike about 45.
Tips
- Gas cans do nothing for them: the fuel ring on the driving HUD shows CHARGE and blinks red below 15%.
- A station on a weak grid shows No power. One station charges one vehicle at a time.
- Every trader has a charging station beside the helipad (new worlds) that needs no power.
- Road skills: Hypermiler slows the drain, Fast Charge charges faster, Extended Cells stretches a full charge.
- The Volt Bike can always be pedaled when flat; the Wasp settles to the ground; the Razorback just stops.
