At least in ON a lot of products don't really say where they are from. I avoid those products nowadays, but I never understood why it's allowed in the first place. In the place where I'm from all products say so.

Barcelona is turning subway trains into power stations in c/news@beehaw.org

Do subway trains have batteries for the purpose of moving themselves? I don't know much about subway trains specifically, but in my imagination I can't picture one working during a power outage.

If they don't carry large batteries then it makes perfect sense to me to dump the energy back into the grid. Electrical losses should be fairly small.
