Run Whole House on Wimpy Generator?

[redpoint5]

Interesting point about using waste heat. An ICE probably wastes more heat in a 15 minute drive than all the hot water I'll use in a day. If only it could be stored for when its needed.

The 2 accessible vehicles these days are an EV and PHEV, so I'm not wasting heat energy so much anymore.

That brings me to the likely conclusion of this thread; using my PHEV as a generator in the event of an extended power outage. I bought a 3000 watt inverter, and can wire it into the 12v output of the PHEV. The DC/DC converter keeps the 12v battery topped off, and the engine will turn on any time the high voltage battery runs low.

I thought the current crop of car EV batteries run in the 240-600V range?
What common available invertor operates off of those ranges?
