MrEnergyCzar's video: Chevy Volt as Back Up Power

Chevy Volt Back Up Power. I can power my full size fridge and pellet stove 24/7 with my Volt when the power goes out. • Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/MrEnergyCzar.PeakOil • Twitter: https://Twitter.com/MrEnergyCzar • I installed this great EVextend wiring kit to the 12 volt battery which allows me to attach a pure sine wave inverter with a 2,000 watt surge. It's a quick connect system. When the power goes out, you bring the inverter and this in here and you just connect these two together and when you're done you pull them apart. • When using it you want to have the Volt outside, powered on, with the accessories off so the 12 volt battery will get back-charged. The Volt's gas generator will run about 6 minutes each hour and you'll use about 2-3 gallons of gas per day. • Because my home is a low energy home, my full size fridge and pellet stove each have a surge rating of less than 1,000 watts. So if they both surge at the same time, the inverter can still handle it. Even though it's a 1,000 watt inverter, it has a surge maximum of 2,000 watts.
