thought of this thread when i saw the following posted on the Facebook Volt group page today:
Volt to the rescue. Again. Thunderstorms knocked out power to our neighborhood from 11pm to 5am overnight. Put a 1000W sine wave inverter in the Volt, and powered LED lights, refrigerator, networking, and security lighting and camera system. Volt was on the whole time, just left it in "N", with parking brake on.
Used about 11 miles of range on the GOM. I have a 5KW solar system, which obviously can't help at night, but... Volt has already recharged the 11 miles from solar this morning
