If you had a serial plug-in hybrid with a 20+Kwh battery which also supported exporting 120vac, that would work. AFAIK such a vehicle doesn't exist in North America yet and might not exist anywhere globally.
You start stacking energy efficiency losses (engine -> charger -> battery -> inverter -> charger -> battery -> motor) and economic losses (expensive serial hybrid, higher than expected vehicle battery cycles, still need a large number of tool batteries which wear out in about a year, etc.) though.
- actionfromafar 2y agoThe Mitsubishi Outlander is not exactly a truck but it's close. 120 VAC: https://youtu.be/dIZsACfqB-E?t=46 https://youtu.be/dIZsACfqB-E?t=46 and it has 20kWh battery: https://carbuzz.com/news/2023-mitsubishi-outlander-phev-has-more-power-more-range-and-better-value/ https://carbuzz.com/news/2023-mitsubishi-outlander-phev-has-... I feel cars have been stuck in boring mode for 2 decades, but now with zany stuff like power outlets and such, they are getting more interesting.
