This is not to dispute the obvious value of a Prius supplying 110 vac. But if somebody someday connects their Prius to the grid without attending to this matter, I fear that they will let all the magic smoke out. That would be a shame.

Actually it should be isolated from the grid and used only for local house power . . . not to the pole. One of the problems disaster crews face is the risk of a line being powered by a home generator. They don't need that hazard.
