ChargePoint’s roadmap: EV charging 80% home/work, 20% public/fast, “virtual batteries” for utilities

Green Car Congress

ChargePoint’s stance is bolstered by a new MIT study that suggests , in part, that electric cars that plug into the grid, could, collectively, act as a massive “virtual battery” for grid energy storage. In the power grid, supply and demand need to match exactly. ChargePoint envisions that at scale—i.e.,
