Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. For instance, they may have solar panels on their roof or could, via their utility, opt for energy from renewable sources.
