Revenge of the Electric Car

JANUARY 15, 2009

Say Hello to Guest Blogger Alexis Ringwald - with this first dispatch from the Climate Change Caravan in India. The Climate Caravan includes ten friends and a solar music band, along with three solar plug-in electric Reva cars. The Revas are traveling 200km per charge on Lithium-Ion batteries (the solar adds 8km extra).

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.

The cap has to do with what percent of rooftop solar customers get to participate in the “net metering&# program that actually gives them credit for the solar power they produce and feed back into the grid. Right now we’re at about 12% from renewable sources. to 5% is throwing a meatless bone to starving dog.
