This is almost insulting to anyone who is still suffering through the aftermath of Sandy. Leaf-to-Home would be great for them right now, but it's still years away from the US market.
I've been without grid power for all but a few hours last Friday - a full week. I don't yet know what our energy needs really are (TED package is in the mail! :lol: ) but I had to do quite a bit of emergency-related commuting (~50 miles/day) over the past four days. Been using a generator (5kW) to keep essentials going.GetOffYourGas said:This is almost insulting to anyone who is still suffering through the aftermath of Sandy.

Most power outages ARE trivial, lasting only a few hours, a day at the worst. Besides, assuming you don't try to run the whole house, just the fridge, a lamp or two, and the cell phone chargers, your LEAF should shoulder the load for days. V2G is a whole 'nuther kettle of fish that has nothing to do with power outages.Smidge204 said:... V2G/V2H is a really good concept but I'm more skeptical than ever that it's a viable strategy for all but the most trivial of power outages. ...

"A few hours" doesn't even qualify as an outage IMHO. It's not an outage until there's a real risk of pipes freezing or losing whatever is in the fridge. (Protip: Don't open the fridge when the power is out unless you really need to). That's a full day minimum.davewill said:Most power outages ARE trivial, lasting only a few hours, a day at the worst.
