Powering your Home with your EV – Nature’s Generator Power Transfer Kit
The ability to power your house using an EV during a power outage is one of the biggest benefits of owning an EV. E-GMP vehicles like my Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Genesis GV60 provide onboard generators, as well as the new Ford F150 Lightning. Typically I see people running extension cords and power strips from their EV through their house to plug in a refrigerator, lamps, space heaters, etc.
By far the best way to power your house using your EV though is to use a Nature’s Generator Power Transfer Kit. These kits allow you to power actual circuits in your electrical panel using your EV just by flipping a transfer switch. It’s very easy to do and much better than running extensions cords to your EV or spending tons of money on a bidirectional charger.
I got the Nature’s Generator Power Transfer Kit Elite which allows me to power 6 circuits in my electrical panel using my Kia EV6 built in onboard 1.9kW V2L generator. They also offer a standard Power Transfer Kit that allows you to power 4 circuits and is a little less expensive and doesn’t require an adapter for the power cord. I’ve determined I can power most of my house in the event of a power outage. My furnace, lights, TVs, refrigerator, etc should be able to be powered fine using my EV during an outage using the Nature’s Generator Power Transfer Kit.
