Ford's new hybrids are also seriously interesting. Having a proper truck that is also a full-on portable power station is a game changer.

    Great question. :) If you're on a jobsite without power, a combined truck-generator saves the cost of the separate genny, setup/teardown time, fuel logistics, logistics for the equipment itself, etc. For disaster response, you show up with your fully-fueled truck, and you're providing power as soon as you shift into Park. Everywhere you go in your truck, you basically have the power supply capabilities of a small workshop. It's big.

    I think because contractors often need to power their tools on sites that may not have a power source.
