I did exactly that last year when I was living in Michigan during winter time.
I ran to an autozone, bought a 1000W peak 600w continuous or so 12v inverter and hooked it up to my 2011 Fusion Hybrid and was able to run the furnace (gas igniter and blower) to keep us warm during a 4 hr power outage. Remember hearing the engine kicking On only a few times to recharge the HV battery.
