Abstract
An electric vehicle charging system includes a gas turbine engine having a compressor, a combustor downstream from the compressor, and a turbine downstream from the combustor. An electric generator is coaxially aligned with the compressor and includes a rotor coaxially aligned with the turbine. A shaft connects the turbine of the gas turbine engine to the rotor of said electric generator. A rectifier is operably connected to the electric generator, and a plurality of charging cables operably connected to the rectifier supply rectified power to the electric vehicle.
