The intelligent backup power is such an obviously good feature that I'm surprised nobody has thought of this before. Out here people will spend $5-$10k installing a generac for their home. That thing is loud and takes awhile to turn on depending on the setting.

Having your EV plugged in and just "work" when there's a power outage is stupid simple and absolutely worth it.

No it’s not. There’s no Nissan device you can buy in the USA that allows leaf to do power to home. It might be different in Europe, and I know you can import non-Nissan devices from Japan.
