Locomotives have done this for small towns. Ships have done this for coastal cities.

An Australian woman used her BYD electric car to run her son’s dialysis machine after a huge storm left her without power.

After flash flooding knocked out electricity across southeast Queensland on Christmas Day, Kristy Holmes used her Atto 3, which is made by Chinese EV giant and Tesla rival BYD, to power her 11-year-old son’s dialysis machine, according to a Guardian report.

Holmes told The Guardian that her son Levi, who is waiting to receive a kidney transplant, could have faced life-threatening consequences were it not for the Atto 3’s “vehicle to load” feature, which allows it to charge household appliances with excess power from the car’s battery.

The fact that some EVs are capable of acting as power generators on wheels makes them especially useful during major blackouts caused by extreme weather and natural disasters.

When Hurricane Ian hammered the Florida coast in 2022, Ford saw a 127% increase in the number of people using their F-150 lightning electric pickups as power sources.

Ford CEO Jim Farley posted on X that hurricane-hit drivers were using their trucks to cook meals and power lights.

If bots have to post articles, can they at least check for duplicates first

So many Chinese bots lately.

Nice. V2D is a nice use case every ev should provide

A BYD electric car acted as a life-saving power generator during extreme weather in Australia.

Batteries are not generators, they’re storage

There is no power being generated
