The following are some highlights: In the future, utilities will set up programs to compensate those who choose to harness their power storage capacity to serve as grid-level storage for the greater good. An alternative would be using tens to hundreds of connected cars as a resource while their owners are elsewhere.

Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so. However, the distributed, non-synchronous, and weather-dependent nature of the resources causes specific challenges when integrating them into power systems.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. We will own the battery.
