in that you can use it as an emergency back-up generator if you know how to hook up an inverter.
Or you could go get a Honda genset for about $350 and not worry about insurance, inspections, replacing high dollar batteries, or tires- not to mention the $350 high amp inverter.
You'll need a better genset than what you can buy from Honda for $350 to run a fridge and your furnace even if you run them in turn.

Unless you seriously rewired that prius, you're not looking at much more usable power from the factory wire size.
