You can do that with any car, or better yet, buy a generator.

Yes I do, since it was running off an inverter. Whoever wrote that article is an idiot. They are suggesting that in the future we could use hybrid cars as electrical generators to power the grid when it needs it. Its absurd. Using gasoline to generate electricity is not "eco-friendly" and the fuel costs along with the wear and tear on the vehicle is hardly justified by the meagre price the power company would pay you for the electricity.
