>Our Outlander PHEV has this. Full 12amp outlet, can run power tools, appliances, etc. And has the advantage of being a PHEV so acts as a gas generator once the (admittedly small) battery depletes. It's nice too, there are two outlets; one in the cabin so the kid can charge her laptop on road trips, and another in the back
Sounds a lot like the feature set of the hybrid Sierra that GM made for a few years back in the '00s.
> I can bring my table saw etc. out into my field and run it off the car.
And this is more or less the sales pitch they made for it.

I think most trucks have this feature now. My tacoma has a couple outlets in the bed as well. I've seen it on a few different american truck brands too.
