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.

Hydrogen produced by water electrolysis has the potential to be a useful means of storing excess electricity generated using wind, solar, and other intermittent renewable energy. Integrated renewable hydrogen systems and public-private community-based partnerships. The 2015 cost target was $2-$3/gge.

A January 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study shows that if we woke up tomorrow and all our vehicles could plug in, todays grid could support more than three-quarters of them charging at night without building a single power plant. But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid.

The Think City was short-lived in the States with production halting in 2002 after just 1005 cars had been assembled. There are choices for 110 volt versus 220 volt, slow versus quick charges, and solar options. The true impact of electric vehicles should consider the make-up of the power grids where these cars will be used.

I had surmised this in my 2002 car design thesis [link] even before anyone was talking about plug in series hybrids. Plus you can use solar and break technology, as well as other more experimental technology, and never have to charge it because it would then charge itself. Can you say, never need a gas or charging station again?
