The scheme could be one way of addressing concerns that modern power grids couldn’t endure widespread electric vehicle usage while helping to position the involved companies in an industry that’s being heavily incentivized by the government. The companies are hoping to sell the concept as a way to help “decarbonize” the energy grid.
