Listen to certain people and electric vehicles come across like magical unicorns that run on fairy dust and can do anything you want them to — including powering your house.
President Joe Biden certainly thinks so. In November, giving one of his numerous interminable speeches about infrastructure, he told America that your Tesla or Chevy Bolt could keep the electricity on in your home.
“And by the way, in your home, you know, the batteries that we have now — and they’re getting more and more sophisticated,” Biden said.
“You know, a lightning storm takes out all the electricity in the house. Guess what? You can plug your car into the house and make it light up.”
After the audience laughed: “You think I’m joking? It’s a little simplistic, but literally you can. Literally you can.”
I’ll stick with a generator. No thanks.
