Woman uses electric car to power son's dialysis machine during power outage

One endearing story shows the momentous abilities of present day technology.

During a blackout in south-east Queensland, Australia, one mother moved quickly to save her child's life.

Kristy Holmes, a 42-year-elderly woman from the Gold Coast, powered her 11 year old son's dialysis machine with her electric vehicle after their home lost power because of storms and flash flooding on Christmas Day.

Speedy-thinking Holmes utilized her Atto 3 - a Tesla alternative by Chinese competitor BYD that isn't yet accessible in the US.

As per the report, the choice involved life and death.

Holmes utilized her electric vehicle's "vehicle to load" feature, which permits it to charge domestic devices utilizing the vehicle's battery.

This feature permitted her to take advantage of the vehicle's battery to run her child's dialysis machine, and it ended up being a life saver for her child.
