Can you drive home from the market in your generator? Can your generator get you up to the ski field, or to the golf course or out to the restaurant? Can you crank your favourite music and drum on the steering wheel in your generator? We think not. But you can when you use your EV as a power source.

Dirty, smelly, noisy generators are ubiquitous in the event and market worlds, but modern electric tech is offering up some better options and, all around the country, the Rewiring Aotearoa team and many of our community groups have been harnessing vehicle-to-load technology to power things and start conversations.

From running a bouncy castle at a big conference, to making pancakes at a market stall, to making 'Glow-Tatoes' for Matariki celebrations, cooking with a car never fails to impress and it's yet another appealing aspect of EV ownership.

Most people buy cars to do car things. But plugging in an EV at home and using its big batteries to power our lives - often known as vehicle-to-grid - turns these machines into mobile energy assets and will also significantly improve our ability to cope in an emergency.
