Farm mechanization helps the  Indian agriculture industry to increase production by roughly about 40%. When compared to traditional tractors, electric tractors are more environmentally friendly since they can be powered by electricity from the grid or the farmer’s own solar panels if the farmer instals a solar system on the farm.

A lot of people don’t understand how that can be, but if you think about the topology of a charger, there’s the power electronics that are connected to the grid—that’s where the cabinet is—then there’s a cable going from there to where the vehicle is, and then there’s vehicle coupling. Lowest total cost of ownership of any charging system.

Audi is the first manufacturer worldwide to use this technology in a production plug-in hybrid. Covered in greater detail in an earlier post , the battery-electric e-tron quattro concept provides a very close foreshadowing of the production model to follow in 2018.

Whats Vehicle-to-Grid and why would I like it?

I said I would consider it, but that I was really hoping to establish a precedent, legally speaking, beyond Torrance. I went and spoke to their City Council and said “For $50,000 a house I’ll put in solar AND battery systems and take you off the grid. If you’re going to do it, take the homes off the grid. And this is boring.
