Like many, we had our power knocked out by Hurricane Helene. After Debby, we installed a generator plug to our breaker box at our vet clinic. Thanks to the Lightning we were able to have our Annual Open House two days later. The truck has been hooked up since power went out and has saved all of our very expensive refrigerated stock, and allowed us to continue seeing patients. This truck is awesome!
We’ve also got an EV9 which has been doing limited pick up duties as a device charger and powering some fans. It has to save it’s power for farm calls in the area.

Nice. Thank you for caring for our furry friends.
Great story.
This is exactly why I want an EV… Backup power for my home.
I’m curious how long it was running and how much power it used.
Man would love to get my the Lightning but definitely out of my price range. Awesome seeing stories about it like this and what it can do. Remember seeing one about it powering festival equipment which was cool. Most importantly though shout out to the person or people who thought of and made the decision to install the compatible plug. Preparation and planning always comes through in the clutch.
Not all hero wear capes. Well done.
It’s like a backup electricity storage cell that also drives you, your family and friends as well as your stuff around!
