Given that the car would be stationary I'd say you would have about an hour before the engine overheats and seizes up.
This came up in the PriusChat forum several years ago, I believe one person was able to make his work (don't remember for how long but it was several hours). Hybrid cards have an advantage there since the Main Battery will run the DC socket (which you'll attach a normal AC converter), and in turn the gas engine turns on now and then to recharge the Main Battery.
Its a horrid kludge though.
I may have come here from Myst Online, but that does not make me any less bloodthirsty than the average Eve player.
Just more subtle.

the bigger issue with using a car other than the sheer amount of fuel a car guzzles is that cars do not generate even as much power as one of those generators on wheels from a hardware store. The alternator in a car is really only making enough to run the car and accessories and likely could never even really run much more than the load of some lights or a computer. In truth if one lives in an area with power issues a standby generator might be a better option.
That said during the great 2003 Northeastern blackout I ran some lights and a laptop off my pickup truck for a few hours, even drove it over the yard and used the offroading lights so I could swim in our pool at night.
EVE is like swimming on a beach in shark infested waters,-á There is however a catch...-á The EVE Beach you also have to wonder which fellow swimmer will try and eat you before the sharks. |
