Hi,
Let's survey current and future Prius-inverter practices:
NHW11 - Off the shelf, 1kW, modified sine wave inverter
This model Prius can generate 1 kW of DC power and has been documented in:
Due to the higher power from the ZVW30, a 1.5kW off-the-shelf, sine- wave inverter will go into my wife's car. We will also upgrade the 12V battery for something capable of handling the surge power, 3kW.
NHW20 - Modified UPS from Traction Battery
Described in:
It provides 3kW of house power but only at the house, The electronics are integrated into the house and the otherwise stock Prius can only supply power to one location.
XXXXX - Direct from Prius Inverter
When parked, the inverter has the ability to generate over 30 kW of AC power to drive MG2. It is three phase lacking only the interface, filters and control electronics. The Prius becomes stationary in high power mode so mobile, AC power can be handled by smaller units.
Co-generation
There Prius exhaust can be routed through a 'gas heater' to make hot water. The engine compartment heat can be captured and used for space heating. The only thing missing is using natural gas to substitute for gasoline.
