False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

EEA: large-scale roll-out of EVs will help EU shift to green transport, but may challenge power grid

Green Car Congress

However, widespread use of such vehicles would pose challenges for Europe’s power grid in meeting increased electricity demand. A larger number of electric cars on the road may pose future challenges for Europe’s power production capacities and put stress on existing power grids. Source: EEA. Click to enlarge.
