People use electricity generator in those situations too.
The difference is that a generator you might use every two years is likely to fail when you need it unless you carefully maintain it regularly.
You use your car every day, you’ll notice if it breaks and take care of it immediately.
Not everyone lives in North America mate
I don’t live in NA either and work from home. I still use my car more often than a theoretical generator
My generator tests itself once a week, automatically cuts over during an outage, and costs ~$200 a year for scheduled maintenance that I can’t be arsed to do anymore at this stage of my life. Generators don’t have to be a huge headache.
How much did you pay for a fancy generator like that?
