priups.com — The Toyota Prius - Gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles can serve as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for your house. The Prius, unlike the generator, also has a battery that provides instant, UPS-like power, to your house.

Man the Civic Hybrid always gets left out of these things. Some people who drive hybrids aren't doing it to be seen driving a hybrid.

Sorry but the $700 I spent on my generator before this last set of hurricanes seems like it was a better deal than the $22,000 it would cost me to buy that Prius.

The bad point about the prius is not the design, is that thing coming towards you without you noticing and being hit by it.

It's not about using a Prius as an alternative to a regular generator. It's about coming up with alternative uses for what you already have. It's what hacking is all about.
