Get power supply for your house from a Toyota Prius

January 30th, 2009

Last week we ran out of power at the villa.  Whilst trying to contact our electricity company (hard job, by the way) I was trying to find a solution and wondering why is so difficult to continue with normal life without our electric gadgets.

Most poeple’s first thought is to buy a portable generating set (I have two of those), but there is people that bring us very smart solutions like John Sweeney.

John Sweeney is a proud owner of a Hybrid Toyota Prius that gave him the necessary power to run his holiday home along the four days of blackout.

The Toyota Prius can output about 3 Kilowatts of constant electrical power, enough to provide electricity for the basic home needs such as refrigerator, wood stove fan, radio and even television.

John Sweeney has written a how-to guide to connect a Prius to your house.
