If you’ve ever driven a 2016 Nissan LEAF®, you probably already know it is the life of the party. Now, the LEAF is taking that compliment literally, by supplying power to an entire powerless block party. Nissan demonstrated the “Vehicle to Home” capability of the LEAF at Kensington Presents, a donation-based outdoor music and food festival.

The Nissan LEAF® was able to power this event through the DC Quickcharge Port, which takes the 360 volt lithium ion battery voltage and converts it to 100 volts of AC power through the internal inverter. This technology could eventually be used to power homes, or even an entire building using a fleet of Nissan LEAFs.

Join the party by watching the video below!
