The trouble in applying extra battery loads to hybrid vehicles
might be that the main battery is matched to the car drive
mechanism such that maximum economy and speed/weight ratios
would not permit huge appliances without deteriorating the system.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, so I wonder if the charging
system could keep up with an extra big demand....
