I know a beekeeper who has a power inverter hooked up to his truck. He uses it to charge the batteries for both his power tools and bee vacuum systems. He can even use it to run regular plug-in AC devices. Lawn crews can just have the backup batteries charging while they drive from job to job.

That’s pretty sweet. More car company’s are including provisions for these types of systems built in to accommodate the changing trends too.
