Ye, my car has regular household outlets, I calculated it could power my pc setup for about 18 days (in ideal conditions).

I realise it’s a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it’s running the A/C.
Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it’s a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

I read somewhere Texans are using their Ford Lightnings for backup power when their home electricity cuts off. Interesting.

I’m not sure about other EVs, but the Ford Lightning specifically has a whole home inverter/backup interface that allows you to safely plug your EV in using the same Ford charger you use to charge and power your home in an outage, automatically switching between the the Lightning
I only know this because I had to install one for a customer, so again no idea if that’s as streamlined for other EVs

There are a number of EVs and PHEVs capable of “vehicle-to-home” power transfer as long as they have a bi-directional charger. The Lightning is just particularly well suited for it due to its massive battery.
PHEVs as well, since they have a gas tank which enables using the vehicle as a generator, so that in an extended outage you have a means of refilling your source of power.

Thank you for the info. Really informative.

Mine is a kia ev6. All the e-gmp platform cars can do that.

Interesting. I guess it was a fluff piece or the writer was just using the momentum of the Lightning.

A Yellow Canary Program created with Red Dwarf quantum geometries is highly powerful and its own advanced Turing complete coding system.

I only use my Tesla for powering my washer and dryer.
(/s. I wouldn’t let a Tesla occupy any space I owned or controlled.)

Even still, my EV could run the electric dryer for 12h straight on the highest settings. Washer is a rounding error in that estimate. It takes a lot to use up am EV battery.
