Just by adding aan inverter. Cost a couple grand, but the Prius makes for a FANTASTIC generator! Pure battery cars however, would only last as long as the battery. My plug-in prius would prolly run at 2KW output for DAYS on a full tank... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82717426 United States 11/02/2022 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Although plug-out inverter kits aren't widely available, a number of retailers online offer their own version. ConVerdant is one such manufacturer, offering kits for sale in a range of kW power ratings. Step 1: Attach the input cable to the Prius' high voltage electric battery. This may be done by accessing the battery compartment from the trunk of your Prius. Step 2: Hook up the cable between the island and the battery, aligning colors with colors on the input clamps. In order to safeguard your expensive components, include a surge protector in part of the circuit. With this quick process done, it's just a matter of turning on the plug-out island and plugging whatever desired appliances you want into the island for use. These kits can seem expensive as a purely precautionary tool, ranging from $100 to several hundred U.S. dollars depending on the retail source and kW rating of the product. However, it is strongly recommended you purchase one if you live in a geographical region where natural disasters, such as flooding, are relatively common. |

When the power company's electricians come to repair the damaged lines, you will be putting them in danger of being electricuted by whatever power source you hookup to your home without a cut off switch from mains power. Mains power switches can be made or bought. Only the bought switches that are properly installed by the LICENCED electrician will be covered under your home insurance. The switches are about 500 dollars and the install would be about 150. DONT JUST HOOK UP A POWER SOURCE TO HOME IDIOTS! |

Taz User ID: 84028750 United States 11/02/2022 05:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well he’s not wrong- just ignorant. Doing this requires a great deal of modifications to your homes service center including a lockout device (preventing current from leaving your house and entering the grid possibly injuring the lineman trying to restore service in an outage). Additionally the charger doesn’t work in reverse you need additional components like an inverter and a current management system (so your car doesn’t explode in the garage) and more than likely you need to “ unlock “ the feature in your car probably by paying more or producing an electrician certification which I’m sure is many thousands of dollars… These companies get away with saying this crap because many of them (like the ford lightning) have a built in inverter and you can “ plug “ an extension cord into it and power say your fridge and or a tv or something in an outage. But it’s maybe 1500 watts tops will never power the whole house and not designed to. They just show on the commercials hey look use your car as a battery in a power outage. Well. Yeah. Sorta…. Run a cord out the window and keep your fridge going few small things but it’s missleading to make people think it magically powers your whole house especially considering most people only have mode one chargers at home. |
