Hybrid vehicles , including advanced micro-hybrid, mild-hybrid and full-hybrid vehicles rely on the battery to play a more active role, with the energy stored from braking used to boost the vehicle’s acceleration. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.

During this exchange of charge a current flows over the electrodes, which can be used by a battery-powered device. During discharge the electrodes are continually supplied with the dissolved substances from the tanks; once they are converted the resulting product is removed to the same or another tank.

Rather than using battery power, the application allows owners to start the Volt remotely to pre-condition the interior temperature using power from the grid. This preserves the battery charge for driving without gasoline. Production for the Volt is scheduled to begin in late 2010. Pricing has not been announced.

Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored. If too much or too little electricity is present in the power grid, the network can suddenly become unbalanced. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.
