CarGenerator™

Late last year, an entrepreneur reached out to us because his customers were looking for one more step to bridge the gap between his invention and keeping the power on at home. His invention is CarGenerator™ and it functions exactly how it sounds. All you need is a vehicle with a full tank of gas.

Once you have the CarGenerator™ properly installed, which is very easy to do, you can plug in your AC WORKS® brand extension cord into one of the household outlets installed inside the CarGenerator™ housing. It is more convenient to run one extension cord from the CarGenerator™ into your home and then split the power inside your house.

AC WORKS® carries a number of power strips and power distribution products to help with this task. We also learned that a lot of Jonathan’s CarGenerator™ customers use his product for boondocking, camping, and RVing. There is also the use of the CarGenerator™ with transfer switch inlet box equipment already installed in their homes. No matter what type of setup you have, you will be able to hook up the CarGenerator™ using one of our AC WORKS® adapter solutions. With a small backpack shaped case, you can power the necessities using your car.

The reviews say it’s incredibly easy, reliable, environmentally friendly, and safe. We decided to give it a try for ourselves and are impressed at the ease of use and power ability this equipment has.
