On average a house uses about 24 kwh per day. That would give you roughly 3 days of power.

Technical question: Are EV's built to run power back into a home breaker box? During a power outage here, someone showed me how to back-feed a generator into my home circuit (it kept tripping the ground wire, until I cut it)

I’m sure they could be.

“During a power outage here, someone showed me how to back-feed a generator into my home circuit (it kept tripping the ground wire, until I cut it)”

I have a generator that runs on natural gas (and on gasoline and propane as well) that I connect to my natural gas line so I can run it “forever” and don’t have to mess with smelly gasoline. I connected it to the house through a power switch box which let’s me select the electricity source from either the utility or the generator, with just the push of a switch. When it’s connected to the generator the house runs just like it was connected to the utility. Switching back is as simple as pushing the switch.

No messing with extension cords, breaker boxes, dangerous and smelly gasoline...

Works like a charm
