In Florida with Duke Energy we just got notified that starting Jan 1

I believe we have discussed this and that you do have some kinda
justification for "going off grid", but for others, it makes no economic

For *YOU*, an EV that can provide backup power may not be a good investment.
Fair enough. That much is
The Ioniq -5 comes with a 2 kW 120v outlet capability.
The ford has 9.6 kW. More will follow. Let me know and
I will maintain a list.
Its not just power outages. I have used mine to mow my rental

Everyone's local grid has its own vulnerabilities.
People that need it should be aware of this value of EV's to
