Method for generating electrical power from fuel cell powered cars parked in a conventional parking lot

A method for generating electrical power from at least one fuel cell powered vehicle that is parked, comprising:

• a) providing a fuel cell powered vehicle with switch means for switching between a locomotion mode and an electrical generation mode;
• b) connecting said vehicle to electrical receptacle means for connecting the parked vehicle to an electric system;
• c) engaging the vehicles operating system;
• d) switching the vehicle and its fuel cell to the electrical generation mode to produce D.C. electrical power and to transfer said D.C. electrical power from the fuel cell to said electric system;
• and
• e) converting the D.C. electrical power from the fuel cell to A.C. power by conversion equipment.
