08/01/2003 Entry: "Reaching New Horizons In Housecar Enjoyment"

Apparently my proposed SUVs for the homeless program has taken an unexpected step forward with the introduction of Toyota's new Alphard hybrid minivan:

The Alphard Hybrid can generate large amounts of electricity, which allows the use of a variety of home appliances, thus reaching new horizons in minivan enjoyment..

...

The hybrid system can generate up to 1,500 watts of power when the vehicle is stationary or moving, and has standard 100-volt household AC power outlets in its center cluster and luggage area. These outlets can be used to power home appliances such as hairdryers and microwave ovens and recharge items such as power-assisted bicycles and electric carts, adding a new dimension to leisure activities. Work equipment or equipment for the elderly or disabled can also be used with ease.
