The idea of vehicle-to-grid is that you are storing energy at the end of the distribution system, so you can absorb those peaks. You might have home solar, a battery, maybe you can already interface all of that together. BMW was involved with the V2G pilot of the University of Delaware many years ago. PSA has been working on it.
