Changed my Reservation from EV-Only to Traveler Harvester....Because of THIS Bonus use.

[WrenchMagnate]

I initially reserved a pure EV Traveler, but after some thought I changed my reservation to Harvester.

My initial thinking was @ 350 Mile Range, I can work around any challenges in rural South Alabama (charge at home overnight, short <100 mile lightweight towing, etc.)

On Monday, I lost electricity at home for 10 hours due to a thunderstorm in the area, and it got me thinking.

As a veteran of several hurricanes and remembering 18 days without electricity during hurricane Ivan, I realize that a bonus of the Harvester system is that it can be used as a generator to power refrigerators/freezers, home lights, etc. using GAS.

Hopefully Scout's software will allow this...

There's no particular reason the EV wouldn't either.

the downside, as a former tractor PTO generator owner, is that while your truck is running your house, it can't be a truck.

When my 800.00 Harbor Freight generator has no issues running my home, I guess I see it as more of a novelty than anything.

Good points, and worth considering.

I guess the gas option is still comforting for charging the truck during extended outages.

You can order whatever you want with any reservation.
