100V outlet of the strongest car in the event of a disaster and outdoors!What are the "limits" that you want to remember?

Effective for outdoors as well as working on the go

I am grateful that home appliances can be used with an outlet attached to the electric vehicle

災害時にもアウトドアにも最強のクルマの100Vコンセント! 覚えておきたい「限界」4つとは

 The AC100V/1500W outlet, which is provided by cars, is very active in outdoor, camping, and power outages in the event of a disaster. Hybrid, PHV (PHEV), BEV (electric vehicle), you can use home appliances up to 1500W inside and outside the car. [Photo] Luxury apartment! There are surprisingly many home appliances that can be used at driving destinations, such as his coffee maker, simple microwave oven, hot plate, water boiling pot, and lighting, etc. That's why the inside and outside of the car become "cafes everywhere" and "restaurants everywhere". In the event of a disaster, a power supply can be supplied to the house using an emergency power supply system, etc., and a car with an AC100V/1500W outlet can be a power supply vehicle that moves. In fact, there is an anecdote that Toyota Estima Hybrid, which was collected from all over the country in a power outage area in Tohoku, lit a light in a place surrounded by a car in a blackout area in Tohoku, using a car power in the dark. Approximately. Mitsubishi Motors also actively conclude a disaster agreement with local governments nationwide using the Outlander PHEV power supply function. Toyota Prius, Prius PHV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, etc. have been preparing AC100V/1500W outlets for a long time, but the new Toyota Aqua has an AC100V/1500W outlet as standard. It can be said that it appeals to useful and secure functions in the event of outdoors and disasters, despite the compact car.

Check out the power consumption of home appliances you want to use

 However, of course, the AC100V/1500W outlet cannot use 1500W or more, and even if there are two outlets, the total power consumption of the home appliance to be used cannot exceed 1500W. Also, when the battery is below the specified level, the engine starts in the case of a hybrid, PHV (PHEV). Since the engine is off forever, when using the AC100V/1500W outlet in the outdoors or camping, it is necessary to consider the inconvenience to the surroundings due to the start of the engine. What I want to note is the BEV AC100V/1500W outlet. In the hybrid, PHV (PHEV), electricity is used by the AC100V/1500W outlet, and even if the battery is reduced, power can be generated with the engine (as long as there is gasoline). However, if you use the AC100V/1500W outlet in a BEV, you will just consume the battery. Even if the battery for driving does not become a blur, it is necessary to be careful because it does not have an engine to generate power unless it is in an environment that can be charged immediately. To summarize the story, what you can do with the AC100V/1500W outlet is 1: You can use home appliances inside and outside the car 2: Charging the laptops used for work etc. can be transferred or stopped 3: In the event of a disaster, etc. 4: If you have a hybrid or PHV (PHV), you can use power without having to worry too much about battery consumption because it has an engine for power generation, but with the AC100V/1500W outlet. The only thing that cannot be done is 1: Electricity that goes up a total of 1500W and home appliances cannot be used (of course) 2: Like a home outlet, electricity alone cannot be used forever with car batteries, 3.1500W or less. Even with the product, it may not work normally or cannot be used (depending on the frequency of the powerful power supply, etc.) 4. Ac100V/1500W outlets alone, the power is extracted from the V2H (Vehicle to Home = car large capacity battery. A mechanism that can be used as a family power through the train) functions that cannot be used) are required separately for an expensive V2H device. However, it is possible to supply electricity into the house with an extension code from the AC100V/1500W outlet, but it is necessary to take the extension cord out of the door, back door, and window gaps. For example, in the Toyota emergency power supply system, it is convenient because the Vehicle Power connector can be inserted into the normal charging inlet to use the outlet insert of the Vehicle Power Connector. In addition, it is safe because the EV power supply mode (does not start the engine) and the HV power supply mode (combined with the battery and the engine), and the power supply time can be checked on the display. In addition, ventilation is indispensable because the engine may start when used in a garage that has been closed due to unavoidable circumstances.
