This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I realise it's a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it's running the A/C.

Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it's a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

Ye, my car has regular household outlets, I calculated it could power my pc setup for about 18 days (in ideal conditions).

I read somewhere Texans are using their Ford Lightnings for backup power when their home electricity cuts off. Interesting.

Mine is a kia ev6. All the e-gmp platform cars can do that.

Interesting. I guess it was a fluff piece or the writer was just using the momentum of the Lightning.

I think the us version of the e-gmp are kinda weak power output wise because the inverter is only 1 phase, 1600w. Here in Europe it does 3600w.

The lightning has multiple outlets and afaik also does two phase.
