The handy calculator says 1G at the event horizon implies a radius of half a light-year.

Which means it'll be at 1/4G after you travel a further half light year.
That's a hell of a lot of energy. (If I'm doing the math right, the potential energy difference is on the order of ~20% of the rest mass at the event horizon)

Yeah either the calculator is wrong or I don’t know what I’m talking about. Gravity at the surface of the black hole or the event horizon may well be 1G but all world lines point towards the singularity. I think what is missing is a sufficiently large black hole would have a really low average density at the event horizon thus you wouldn’t get speghettified instantly due to the huge discrepancy of gravity on different parts of your body.
