The article discusses the emerging practicality of using electric vehicle (EV) battery systems, specifically through a custom inverter kit for the Chevy Bolt. This kit converts the vehicle's 12V battery power into standard alternating current, allowing homeowners to use their EV as an emergency power source during outages. Unlike conventional generators, this system can tap into the car's larger battery while parked, safely providing limited but significant backup power without harmful emissions. This innovative solution maximizes the usability of EVs, especially during times of low utilization.
"EV Extend's innovative inverter kit allows Chevy Bolt owners to use their vehicle's power for home backup, providing emergency energy during outages. It cleverly utilizes the car's existing systems without emissions, ensuring practical utility while parked."
"This new approach leverages the existing energy resources in an EV, finding utility in the vast storage capacities of vehicle batteries, particularly when they're idle much of the time."
