I know that your intent was to prove charging in an emergency, but this also proves that this little, red Honda can be like a little red gas can. If you are stuck without power on the side of the road, a friend or spouse can come with the Honda and give you just enough charge to get you home or some other charge point. It also shows that if you go camping at some remote site, you can use the Honda to power the loads at camp and then add a little charge to give you some range to get you home!

It's always advisable to have a generator for EV owners, not just for the EV but also for the fridge. A good quality generator like the Honda is also advisable, as the cheap ones may die unexpectedly because constant 100% load is very hard on the generator. If there's a shortage of gas, the ICE cars are stuffed. If there's a shortage of electricity, EV owners can turn gas into electricity with a portable generator.

A Honda 2000 is NOT the same efficiency as a power plant. The test is showing the amount of electrical energy that specific generator can extract from a gallon of fuel, not how far an EV can go on a gallon of fuel. If you used that same gallon in the engine of this car (it's a plug-in hybrid) it would get 30-40 mpg which is still not even that great. power plant scale generation is much more efficient than that, that's the whole point of electric cars, you're essentially using the huge generator that's super efficient and well controlled to distribute power to thousands of cars. Evan if it's powered by natural gas or coal it's still much less CO2 made than burning gasoline in each car engine.

Since it's generator is amazingly efficient it sure would be cool if if there was an option like the Ford lightning which you could Use the generator to power the house or whatever. Also if you really drove slow you could probably get significantly more than 15 miles. Could save a friend from needing a tow. I would think charging at 240v would be more efficient.

The simple truth is….. if you live in an area that is accustomed to power brown outs, purchasing an electric car seems like a bad idea. Knowing that, purchase a similar car to the bolt, but an ice powered car or a an ice/hybrid would be cheaper in initial cost, get 35-55mpg and never have this issue. Not to mention you can use a gas can to fill in a pinch in a couple minutes, not hours of running a generator…. Which costs big dollars and burns the very fuel environmentalists want to ban. The no brainer move is to not purchase an EV. ICE and hybrid is superior in most ways, convenience and cost being the biggest.
