Electric vehicles (EVs) are often touted for their environmental benefits and quiet operation, but a recent storm has highlighted another advantage of owning an EV: being a power source in a pinch. A severe storm swept through a neighborhood, leaving thousands without electricity. However, one EV owner was able to keep their lights on – literally – by using their car as a makeshift power generator. The owner's vehicle, equipped with a high-capacity battery, was able to supply enough electricity to keep their home lit and powered, showcasing the potential of EVs as a backup power source.
