From Transport Evolved.

We’re heading into the holiday season, and for those in the Northern Hemisphere, that also means the potential for bad weather and power cuts just when you’re about to host a meal.

Thanks to increase in V2G and V2L-capable EVs on the market now, there’s some hope that you can at least provide something (even if it wasn’t what you’d originally planned).

Here are some tips and tricks to keeping yourself well-fed even in a power cut (during this season and at any other time!)
