Greetings All,


With hurricane season here, I was reevaluating out backup procedures should we be stuck in the path and without power for 7+ days....


Is there a way to keep the REx engine running and producing enough energy to keep 75% SOC while idled/parked running the AC?


I recall a while back reading about how to turn on the REx for emissions testing - would this procedure work for this application?  Can it be run 3+ hours at a time?


Initially I was thinking that the "just in case" generator I have (still in the box...may not work since I've never used it) could run the level 1 EVSE and could plug that into the i3, but realized its not one of nicer ones that has a good simulated sine wave, and the EVSE/i3 probably won't like it...
