I wonder if an EV could be used as an energy source when power is out? A generator noise could draw attention. Just a thought.

“I wonder if an EV could be used as an energy source when power is out? A generator noise could draw attention. Just a thought.”

I’m sure that the typical EV battery holds enough kilowatt hours of ‘tricity to do that, but I don’t think a single EV is configured with the capability to output to a home electrical system. So, for now, “yes” in theory, but “no” in practice.

The F150 lightning is capable of doing it. However, the home hookup system is very expensive. For the cost, one might as well buy a natural gas generator such as a Generac..
