There is mention that we are very quiet, so let me raise this issue for discussion and edification....

Being card carrying Californians, we drive a Prius (actually, my wife drives the vehicle. If I have been good, I get to ride along). The vehicle possesses a very large lithium battery which seems like a dandy source of emergency power. A brief google search finds sources which say this is so. Does anyone here have any practical experience using their vehicle for power during an outage. Probably the most practical application would be to keep the refrigerator running .....- it would just be ghastly to face an outage without properly chilled wine
