In light of the recent storms and related power outages, someone at Jalopnik has uncovered a way to use your Toyota Prius as a backup power supply/generator…

“Prius as a back-up power system? Apparently, it can be done and has been done. Reader David of Canada pointed us toward MAKE’s blog, which in turn directed us to a site where a guy explains how he set up his Prius to act as a generator for his emergency power system. Obviously, some people are more motivated than us.”

There is a site dedicated to this at www.priups.com.
