Dark for days? The Mustang battery won't last for days powering much of anything, especially if you want to drive somewhere too. What you want is a gas generator.
the LAST thing I want is a gas/propane generator.....
My house consumes about 10 kWhr/day under 'normal' use. 68 kWhr in a SR battery gets me probably 5+ days with complete Grid outage and zero solar. I happen to have solar, which could stretch that out as long as need be....
what I am trying to put out there is that for the afternoon 'rolling brownout', or an emergency day here and there, our MME or any EV for that matter, are a big part of 'grid backup' in emergency situations without having to spend thousands of dollars.... just $350 or so for an inverter, and maybe $100 for a male-male cord to backfeed your charge outlet, or even a 'regular' 120vAC outlet in a pinch.
