INTRODUCING "Plug-Out"[tm] Hybrids!!
Hybrids as Emergency Generators
Now your Prius or other Hybrid can do double duty! Add our simple Plug-Out kit to your Hybrid [with or without our Plug-In kit] and produce power for days on end, with a minimum of fuel use. We have a small kit for any Hybrid, and larger ones for the Prius. Just run an extension cord from your car to the house, campsite, worksite, or tailgate party and enjoy the power.
No kidding, your Hybrid as a generator too!
Hybrids are already phenomenal power generators. They are far more advanced and higher quality than any home generator: They are quieter, cleaner, long lasting, far more efficient, and lower maintenance. Take the Prius' start-stop technology; it only runs the engine [generator] when the battery gets too low and only until it is recharged. That's good for big savings on fuel. And longer intervals between refills.
Does your Hybrid car always start? Indeed it does. It's used all the time. But, not so for most generators. You'd have to put alot of time and/or money into keeping a generator ready for emergences.
Now let's talk about noise and exhaust. Generators are so loud they keep you and your neighbors distracted and awake. And the exhaust is odorous and dirty. But when your hybrid car runs, you can barely hear it, or smell it. And of course, sometimes it's not running at all! There's just no comparison.
