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.

How Long Do Electric Car Batteries Last?

Blink Charging

This prototype uses a lead-acid mixture. Until then, batteries were made with nickel and cadmium, or lead acid. Now, Nissan and Tesla offer an eight-year and 100,000-mile warranty. It allows cars to get charged from a power grid and the battery to charge the grid back. Efficiency in Numbers.
